Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's $2.5M security costs to be paid by Prince Charles after Trump refuses: report

Prince Charles plans to foot a majority of the bill for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's security amid their move to the United States after President Trump insisted the multimillion dollar cost would not fall on taxpayers, according to a report.

I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!

In a tweet on Sunday, Trump insisted taxpayers would not be funding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's protection after their reported move to Los Angeles, Calif., Markle's hometown.

"I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!" Trump exclaimed.
