Turns out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have to dip into their own formerly royal pockets to cover the cost of their personal security.
According to President Donald Trump, the United States is not on the hook for what has been said to be a $1 million-a-year cost for protecting the jet-set couple, who recently relocated to California from Canada.
Reports say the filthy rich pair boarded a private jet to arrive in the United States before the borders slammed shut due to the coronavirus.
The spoiled couple, who have been critical of the president and some of his policies, had hypocritically intended to ask the president for help covering their security expense, since taxpayers in Britain have washed their hands of the chore.
The president tweeted on Sunday, “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!”
A statement released by Harry and Meghan read, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no plans to ask the US government for security resources. Privately funded security arrangements have been made.”
“As of March 31, Harry and Meghan lose their status of being “internationally protected” because of Megxit. Had they remained part of the British royal family, they would have been entitled to protection from armed US Secret Service agents during their time in America,” reported the New York Post. “It was reported that Harry would have to make a request to the State Department for US-funded protection, but the decision ultimately rested with President Trump.”
The snotty prince, a good friend of Barack Obama, recently embarrassed himself by saying that the president had “blood on his hands” due to his handling of the pandemic. Harry also told Russian hoaxers, “I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry… in America, he has blood on his hands. Unfortunately the world is being led by some very sick people.”
The couple will not go hungry. “Many people expect Markle, a former actor most known for her role on “Suits,” to return to her Hollywood roots. She’s already booked a narrating role for the Disneynature documentary “Elephant,” set to debut on Disney Plus on April 3. The project marks her first role since officially stepping away from the royal family duties,” according to Variety.
