In a tweet on Sunday, Donald Trump said the US will not pay for Harry and Meghan’s security protection
The President said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have to pay for their own security costs once they settle in Los Angeles.
The Mail Online reports: Trump has the final say over whether the couple can have diplomatic protection in the US, because Harry will no longer be classed as an ‘international protected person’ when he completes the final phase of Megxit next week, according to a royal source.

The president’s announcement that he will not pay for their security protection renews questions about who will foot the bill for their new Hollywood lifestyles.
Harry and Meghan caused quite a stir earlier this year when they made the shock announcement that they were quitting Royal life and leaving the UK.
The Megxit process will finally be complete on Tuesday when the couple will stand down as senior Royals.
A royal source said the pair’s stepping down removes any obligation on the US government to pay for their security.
The UK and US have a long standing reciprocal agreement when it comes to bodyguards protecting diplomats and members of the Royal family.
President Trump’s Secret Service agents would have been allowed to carry their weapons on his state visit and likewise bodyguards for the Queen and Prince Charles when they made official trips to the US.
But Harry’s exit from the Royal family means he is no longer considered an ‘international protected person’ and so these rules don’t apply.
The couple would have had to rely on President Trump to make an exception to cover the costs, the source said.
‘It will be down to Harry or his Met Police protection officers to ask for help,’ they said.
‘There is a reciprocal agreement between the US that allows protection officers to carry their weapons. But Harry is no longer a serving royal and that is why his protection in Canada from the Mounties was withdrawn.
‘Someone is going to have to ask the State Department, and ultimately the decision rests with Donald Trump, for assistance. Harry cannot live in the US without armed protection.’
Given Meghan’s criticism of the US leader – and snubbing him at a Buckingham Palace banquet – it’s not surprising that Trump doesn’t feel so generous to the pair.
Harry has also been disparaging of Trump saying he has ‘blood on his hands’ during a prank telephone call when he was fooled into thinking he was talking to climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Under US law only citizens and Permanent Residents, or Green Card holders, are eligible to own a firearm.
Private security guards, who are often ex-military or law enforcement officers, are permitted to be armed.
However Royal experts do not believe Harry will turn to a private security firm.

These “ex-royals” display a profound ability to exercise “foot-in-mouth”. Harry has never been accused of being the sharpest tool in the shed. His choice of.Meghan proves his lack of common sense with women. “Gold Digger” is being polite at best.
Money grubbing whore is more fitting a name for her kind…..
In “high society” actors and actresses were never acceptable other than entertainers. Not too long ago they wore harlequin suits with bells on their hats and danced for the king. They were called jesters. The king never asked them for their opinions on international relations, war, they economy, etc. And they CERTAINLY never married. They might have had affairs and illegitimate kids not recognized by the aristocracy but never married into what was considered truly low class individuals. Now we here in the US are more egalitarian and will accept entertainers and actors, I actually understand why California girl Markle would have a difficult time living like a royal. That life would not be for me. But she knew this going into it so why behave like such a slattern and embarrass us? You’d think that as a supposed actress she’s be able to pull off the role of Duchess of Sussex without too much trouble.
Here’s an Idea????? THEY CAN PAY FOR IT THEMSELVES with their Ill gotten Money that they have Stolen from the English people……….
The Heck with this Inbred Morons they’re Nothing to America….
Bingo. They are literally the personification of what this nation is NOT – it killed those red coats in droves and sent them fleeing across the pond, never to return. We saved their sorry arses from Nazism and lend-leased them back to existence. They can go ph huck themselves. I loathe the Brits.
I’m sure Harry and Megs are against guns anyway. So this will assist them in living up to their ideals.
The enormously wealthy Prince Charles has said he will foot their bills, so there you go. If not Charles, then let them hit up Oprah and the other Leftist celebrities they invited to their wedding, but certainly NOT the American taxpayer.
Yes, he should foot the bill for their armed protection. Then Megs and Harry can go around and virtue signal about their distaste for guns. By the way, Megs claimed she wouldn’t move to Trump’s America. What happened? Methinks it has to do with CA’s community property laws for their future divorce. Or, maybe, though they won’t admit it, Trump’s America is far better than the 12-year-old running Canada.
Riiiight???
Royal carpetbaggers. Very funny and as it should be. I love this guy 😀
Canada got it right, lets hope Trump sticks to his word so these free loaders move on.
If they can’t afford it Meghan could always go back to porn, there in her old stomping grounds in LA.
Ironic that they said they wouldn’t relocate to the US while Trump was prez.
great reminder.
They’re only going to LA to pick Cher and Streisand up to go back to Canada with them. https://media1.giphy.com/media/1014RBn4HVSTK/giphy.gif
They would need to go farther than Canada because they’d still have access to Twitter there.
Does hehl have Twatter?
Yes, but Trump has to go, so there’s a rush.
H and M say their security will be privately funded . Now who would do that?
A few million a year in security, and perhaps more $$$, in exchange for assistance with regime change in the US and Britain?
Yep, that guy. (Harry is clearly stupid enough to be led into bringing down the monarchy)
STAY THE H*LL IN CANUCKLAND…which is still part of the UK Commonwealth….!
Well, the border is closed now. We might be stuck with them for a while.
Well done Mr President
He keeps making the correct choices, which is why the left hates him. Harry made a complete mess of his life and one day he will realize that. Those two are the Brits problem, we don’t need to be spending dime one on them. Plus they are both leftists and we have enough of those to deal with. You would think the pattern would be obvious to the left by now, attack Trump and his approval goes up. Three years of that and they keep doubling down. I just saw a great video all about that from Tim Pool (who isn’t right of center, but says he noticed the failed attempt of the MSM and Democrats). It is at the top of the page at Whatfinger News in the crawler (and in Whatfinger Videos, in the middle near the top under the blue bar), so check it out. Now that Trump is on TV daily Americans now see the left attacking him live as he is trying to help us. Harry’s wife just signed a deal with Disney to do that voiceover he begged Bob Iger for. Let the Mouse House pay for their security!
Best vote I ever cast. And I’ll vote for Trump again in November. He is like the Incredible Hulk, in that the more you attack him the stronger he gets. Love it! I found Whatfinger News as well (after I noticed Drudge writes anti-Trump headlines every day) and it is the Mount Everest of real news, so folks can give that a look. I saw that Tim Pool video there since they aggregate videos as well as articles. Solid stuff from Tim as usual. Now that I’ve quit watching Marvel movies (after Endgame) yes let Disney pay for those two lefties.
Maybe should have been a bit more respectful towards our President…..
Now they can go ask Rob Reiner, Whoopi and Joy Bihar to pay for their protection as they were more than happy to goad them on in their disrespect toward our Leader…
I am sure Meghan’s Hollywood buddies can recommend a security group that can protect her and Harry. If these two
can afford to live in L.A., they can afford to pay for their own security detail.
And even if they can’t afford to live there it still isn’t our problem. They are not active royals so not covered by the agreement!
Hell, I live here without armed protection, so can Harry…..
We all do. Oh you meant California? I guess I’m still in agreement. I thought leftists like them loved ‘migrants’ and ‘refugees’ and illegal aliens.
Why would it be incumbent upon the US taxpayers to fund their security? The author, Ms. Harris, just had to twist a knife into the President for NOT feeling “generous” with OUR tax money and providing payment for their security desires.888
Harry and M’lady didn’t think this one out very well, did they. Nothing new – their whole solipsistic “me” agenda has failed in each step of the way. Now it’s either England or Papa Charles who has to foo the bill, unless they both “stiffen up” and remind Harry and Meghan — they wanted to be independent, to be just normal folks!
Since Meghan has his balls in her purse, he may not be ABLE to “stiffen up”…..j/s
You said it better than I.
Awww, Meggie and Harry have to grow up, be adults sans the royal safety net. TOO BAD! Learn how to budget those body guards…ya know, on your ‘to do’ list between buying apples and deodorant, scribble “body guards”, then dial ’em up!
Who wants them here anyway? Both are anti-American leftist filth.
Can’t they fly their private jet back to Canuckia or Londonistan? We didn’t vote for them. NotOurRoyals
>>>>….” Harry cannot live in the US without armed protection.”…>>>>
Sure he can. He wants to be a commoner like the rest of us, he lives without armed bodyguards.
Welcome to reality, Harry! Have a nice life!
Yeah, we got rid of our loyalty to royalty back in 1776!!
Ooof
Kicked their arses across the pond where they belong
Actually the same royalty!
Maybe they can get by with a little help from their friends.
LOL! Who do they think the are? Royalty?
Heh
Thank you Mr. President. Good decision. They are rich and can jolly well pay for themselves.
They WERE rich. Their money is fast running out and Harry will eventually realize his mistakes.
Harry inherited 20 million pounds from his mums estate MINIMUM, which wS in trust paying zero taxes in other words whilst earning income, til his maturity That and her personal wealth of I think another 20 million divorce payout, plus her prior wealth as Lady Spencer – – – Churchill, all combined I’m pretty sure, with his HRH income and free lodgings and so on to mean he must reasonably be worth around the 200 million mark of US dollars Naturally he and Megan will be astutely minimising any taxes returned in any way whatsoever to we the people. I’m sure they’re well versed in how to claim security as a tax deductible business expense
The “Age of Celebrity” is dead….Hollywood is dead… Trump is doing the right thing by not paying for the security of these clowns.
But let them keep talking, posting, sending out vids. Each one is equivalent to 100,000 votes for #45
Yes I think you are right
let hollywood pay for their protection

“It’s just been revoked!”
GTFOH……..We AIN’T payin’ for the Royal Grifters….
Huh. Thought they weren’t going to live here until Trump was no longer the president. What did that last, all of five minutes?
It is always a bald faced cowardly lie on social media. I cannot count ONE vile celeb who followed through with the threat, er, the promise.
Who invited them in the first place? We should deny them entry.
I loathe all royals. Self-anointed baby blood-drinking, Druid worshipping psychopaths The Queen is alive only because she eats baby parts and drinks the bone marrow and blood. Evil, vile, filthy satanic kh hunt.
Princess Di would be utterly ashamed at Harry’s life to date. She knew what the Royals did, who they worshipped, what they did to others. She paid the price.
Megan will protect him, she’ll take the bullet…
Megan and Harry have been terrible to our president. Megan is using Harry for climbing her Hollywood ladder. We all know she plans to dump Harry.
Harry cannot live in the US without armed protection.
And the rest of us serfs?
Giving up your titles for a spoiled bint comes at a price, Harry.
Sir Charles has $402 million and has already said he will foot the bill
Grandma has a few coins also
It will be good practice for them and their “Life Journey”……….. enjoy.
The ex-royal “B” team settles in LA, whoopie do! “Harry cannot live in the US without armed protection.” Why not? He is probably endangered because of all the Islamo-terrorists he killed when he was on active duty in Afghanistan, but he made the decision to separate from the royal duties and go it alone and that means no security unless he wants to pay for it himself. No more living off the teet Harry. The real, non-Royal world is a cold hard place. Suck it up.
Actually I think QE2 was smart in letting them go. Harry and Meggie were clearly the “B” team on the royal bench. Bill and Kate projecting much more of a royal presence and a 21st century image to move the monarchy forward. The House of Windsor is a brand to be protected and the Queen knows how to move that forward better than anyone. Kate’s always been the perfect wife/mom/royal – love your man/make a lot of babies/obey the Queen.
So poor old Harry has as they say, ‘soiled his own nest”. He could have stayed in the army and been Mountbatten 2.0 but developed the hots for a B-movie actress instead. Pity.
America Don’t want them. Send them back to Britian….
Just common sense…what else can be said? Obviously most modern Presidents prior to Trump would have probably WASTED our money paying for “royal” security though.
Why would they expect the American taxpayers to pay that bill in the first place? Sheesh.
Harry screwed the pooch (royally). With the world at his beck and call, he falls for an old Hollywood whore. His grandma should have told his daddy and brother to whip his ass and run the gold digging ho back to the USA. I confess to no knowledge of the Royals, but I know a royal areshole when I see one….
That pair make up the poster couple for left wing globalist scum. She’s ugly as fck too. I wouldn’t touch her with Joe Biden’s dick.
F them. They’re nothing here in America other than 2 more useless celebrities who have absolutely no value.
They will get the same security the rest of us get…….911
This solipsistic Millennial couple have “outsmarted” themselves. Taxes and problems in gaining work permits drove them from Canada. Now in L.A., the “armpit of the world” they are subject to every derelict, sham and Hollywood crap that goes with the territory — AND without security unless this “want to live normally” couple pays for it themselves, UK metro police pick up the tab which is on the back of the UK taxpayers or Papa Charles/Monarchy pays the tab. A real “on your own couple” are they?
Let their friend Hitlery protect. them. If they will be in Commiefornia, let Nancy protect them.
I’m sure Oprah will take them in for no pay.
She certainly has the money to do it.
Maybe she will foot their 25 mil security detail also.
Harry Handout and MeMeMe Meghan are waking up to the fact that they are nobodies. I guess it’s time to prostitute Archie to the paparazzi if they wanna get paid.
Removing their reproductive organs should not be the costly.
