Canada will Stop Paying for Prince Harry’s Security

Duke and Duchess of Sussex

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are all set to step down from the Royal Duties, this march. Prince Harry’s family enjoys International Protection all over the world. Canada has been sharing some of the security costs for both the duke and duchess since last October. Now the Canadian government will stop paying for their security when they leave for public life next month.

The officials from the Office of the Minister of Public Safety in Canada read “At the request of the Metropolitan Police, the RCMP has been assisting the meet since the arrival of the duke and duchess to Canada intermittently since October 2019. The assistance will cease in the coming weeks, in keeping with their change in status.” 

It further reads “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex choosing to re-locate to Canada on a part-time basis presented our government with a unique and unprecedented set of circumstances. The RCMP engages itself with officials in the UK from the very beginning regarding security considerations.”

After Megxit both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are likely to spend their time in North America at the end of March.

In Scotland today, The Duke of Sussex and Travalyst have hosted a summit to launch their next phase of work, putting communities first, with a mission to create a more sustainable tourism industry. • “We are a coalition of partners with a shared goal to transform the future of tourism and travel for everyone – to give people access to better information and ensure the future development of tourism positively supports the destinations that the industry relies on, and that their communities depend on. We believe travel is a good thing. It is the heart of human experience, of cultural connections and of new friendships.” – The Duke of Sussex Travalyst is working to build a future where people are able to take holidays and trips that have social, environmental and economic benefits to communities and destinations built in. There is an increasing desire for these types of trips – and we want to make them a reality for everyone. At today’s summit in Edinburgh, representatives from across the Scottish tourism sector discussed the need to encourage and incentivise sustainable practices across the supply chain, in a way that meets the needs of consumers who want more clarity on how to choose more sustainable options.

The official website of Sussex Royal, Harry and Meghan state “It is agreed that The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will continue to require effective security to protect them and their son. This is based on The Duke’s public profile by virtue of being born into The Royal Family. His military service, the Duchess’ own independent profile and the shared threat. The risk level documented specifically over the last few years.”

This means that the family needs protection but will pay by themselves shortly.

A non- profit Angus Reid Institue conducts a poll in Canada. This poll tells that 73% of Canadians have no interest in paying the costs for security.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA
