Bullshit. Zero taxpayers were even considering that they'd ask for the US to handle security. They're wealthy enough to pay for their own bodyguards.

I think his base living in The Villages is probably more concerned about other issues.

Actually there is. Canada has refused to pay for their security. They also found out that it isn’t so easy to immigrate to Canada as private citizens.

Since Meghan is a US citizen they are now choosing to relocate here. I doubt the UK is going to pay for British security to protect them here, nor would their taxpayers be happy since are no longer working members of the royal family. Their choice is pay for their own security or ask the US for secret service protection. That usually happens during a working visit, not living here. I highly doubt taxpayers here want to pay for their security either.

With their lifestyle, their combined around $30 million isn’t going to go far. They are supposedly looking at $15 million houses and their security costs are likely to be over a million a year. Some it could reach $8 million a year which seems way too high, but a round the clock team for 3 people would be 9 people with 8 hour shifts. You would need others to relieve them for days off etc.

They need to start making money soon!

Unless Harry and Meghan asked the US for help, Trump is being petty again.

His mother and his great grandmother both left him money. I think the only ones who should be concerned about how much money Harry and Meghan have are Harry and Meghan.

Their spokesperson has said they didn’t ask, nor do they have plans to ask:

“A spokeswoman for the pair responded to Mr Trump's tweets saying: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no plans to ask the US government for security resources."

“Privately funded security arrangements have been made.”

Was this just another out of the blue comment from our beloved President or was he asked about this?

Regardless, they've apparently not asked for the assistance but were they to, I agree with President Trump.

Then again, I don't think this is a tab that should be picked up by other countries for anyone.

There was an article in a UK newspaper saying since they left Canada, because Canada said they would stop providing protection next week, and moved here they would need to ask Trump. I don’t think they are allowed to bring official UK police/security personnel here.

I read it earlier, apparently he did too?
