Popular Post webfact Posted March 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2020 Trump says U.S. will not pay for security protection for Prince Harry By David Shepardson FILE PHOTO: Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, arrive for the annual Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey in London, Britain March 9, 2020. REUTERS/Henry Nicholls WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States would not pay for security protection for Britain's Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, who, according to media reports, have settled in Los Angeles. Trump wrote on Twitter that "now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!" In January, the couple said they would step away from their royal duties. There is no indication that either Prince Harry or the British government has asked the U.S. government to cover security costs, which some media reports have said run to millions a year. The British Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Britain's Sun newspaper reported last week the couple took a private flight to Los Angeles, but did not say when. Earlier this month, the United States and Canada agreed to close their border to non-essential travel at land crossings to ease the strain on health systems caused by the coronavirus. The couple had been living for several months with their son, Archie, on Vancouver Island in Canada. Meghan Markle was raised in the Los Angeles area and her mother, Doria, still lives there. Walt Disney Co <DIS.N> said last week that Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, had narrated a nature documentary that will be released on its Disney+ streaming platform on Friday. Last month, Canada said it would no longer provide security once the couple were no longer working members of the British royal family. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had been assisting London’s Metropolitan Police with security for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "intermittently" since November, when the couple began a six-week vacation in Canada, Reuters reported in February. The couple stunned the royal family in early January with an announcement they would be stepping down from their roles as senior royals, in order to gain freedom from the intense media scrutiny that has followed them for several years.

Popular Post gk10002000 Posted March 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) So they settled in Los Angeles. What visa status did they get? They are allowed to just fly or drive in and setup house? Nice if a person can do it. I guess they gave up on Canada and British Columbia eh? warmer weather in LA was more attractive to them? what a life.

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted March 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2020 Trump is entirely right to refuse to accept responsibilities for the safety and security of Prince Harry and his wife, he absolutely does not need the extra work, cost or worry. He’s already failing on every front to live up the oath he took to protect America and the American people and has categorically declared ‘I don’t take any responsibility at all’. Prince Harry and his wife might be better off without Trump’s attentions. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
