In a move that is said to be likely to 'risk infuriating' Prince Harry, a report indicates that The King could pay for Prince Andrew’s private security - Harry and Meghan lost their publicly funded security when the couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, will lose the privilege of protection from the Met Police as he does not perform royal duties, according to the Mirror. Instead private security will take over his protection at a cost of around £3 million a year, a bill believed to be paid for by the monarch, the Telegraph reported.
Taxpayer-funded police security was also lost when Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duties, an issue which was discussed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in their bombshell Netflix documentary. The six-part docu-series aired in December with three episodes dropped on two consecutive weeks.
