$ 1.3 million a year: Who will fund Harry and Megan's security in Canada?

The government has yet to decide whether it will fund the security of the Duke of Sussex, who want to divide their time between Britain and the country after their dramatic declaration. "We're still not sure what the final decisions will be," Trudeau said

$ 1.3 million a year: Who will fund Harry and Megan's security in Canada?

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that a decision had not yet been made whether the government would pay for the security arrangements for British Prince Harry and his wife Megan Merkel. "I think there needs to be a deep thinking about this, and the discussions are ongoing," Trudeau told the Canadian channel Global.

"We're still not sure what the final decisions will be, where they will live, and what their decisions are," Trudeau said. According to him, the citizens of his country are "very enthusiastic" about the idea that the royal couple will live in the country, but he says there are many more discussions that need to be held on the issue.

This follows reports in the UK media that Canada will allocate $ 650,000 a year to cover the security costs of the Duke of Sussex and their son Prince Archie, while Canadian media estimate the annual cost to be $ 1.3 million a year. Traditionally, the Canadian government allocates funds for the security of the royal family who come to visit the country, a member of the British Commonwealth, so that formally Elizabeth is the head of state.

The royal couple upset Britain and the entire world who declared last week its desire to reduce its royal duties and divide its life between North America and the United Kingdom, becoming financially independent. He did so without consulting Queen Elizabeth and other senior officials in the family, and reportedly between him and his brother William there is a rift related to the latter's relationship with Megan, a US citizen and former TV actress.

However, the two rejected the publications yesterday and the queen said after an emergency conference of palace officials that she gave them her blessing, along with her announcement that this was not "good news".
