Prince Andrew 'set to be stripped of taxpayer-funded guards'

After stepping down from public life following the furore over his friendship with paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, the royal is set to lose his armed bodyguards and have them replaced with taser-equipped security personnel.

The outgoing security were paid for by the taxpayer to the tune of £3 million a year but now, according to The Sun on Sunday, the King may personally pay for his younger brother’s new private security.
