Harry and Meghan’s UK return raises fresh security questions
The couple’s plan to move back to Britain this month has renewed debate over who will pay for their protection.
Harry and Meghan’s surprise decision to return to the UK this month has brought renewed attention to the security arrangements they may receive while living there. The issue has resurfaced because their move would place them back under scrutiny over publicly funded protection.
According to BBC Politics, the couple’s plans have reopened questions about the level of security available to them in Britain. The report said the discussion centres on whether their protection should be funded by the state.
Andy Burnham said the matter was private when asked about the couple’s security funding, according to The Guardian. He said he would not be drawn on the details and wished them well with the move.
The pair are expected to live in a non-royal residence outside London after relocating from the United States. Their return comes after years of debate over their status and security since stepping back from royal duties.
