President
Trump was reacting to report that the pair has relocated to Los Angeles after their
initial plan to permanently reside in Canada.
Yesterday,
Donald Trump announced that the United States government will not pay for the security of British Royals Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle amid their reported move to the US from Canada.
Despite the
long-standing reciprocal agreement between the United Kingdom and the United
States when it comes to bodyguards protecting US diplomats and members of the
Royal family, Trump says he won’t be granting the pair that privilege as they
are set to complete the final stage of ‘Megxit,’ meaning they won’t be
classified legally as British Royals.
He wrote on
Twitter: ‘I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United
Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would
reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however,
the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!’
Prince Harry
and Meghan have now responded to President Trump, insisting they have no plan
to ask him for help with security costs after the president said they must pay.
They instead revealed that a privately funded security arrangement has already
been made.
‘The Duke and
Duchess of Sussex have no plans to ask the U.S. Government for security
resources. Privately funded security arrangements have been made.’ A
spokesperson for the Sussex said.
The couple
were said to have arrived in the US with their 10-month-old son Archie to start
a new life in Los Angeles as they both hope to profit off merchandising while
Meghan plans to restart her Hollywood career.
