I still don't see why the Canadian taxpayer should foot the bill for their security.
Especially since he abdicated!

Harry and Meghan: PM says the country wishes them well for the future

The Queen smiled broadly as she was greeted at St Mary the Virgin Church in Norfolk this morning
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the whole country will want to wish the Duke and Duchess of Sussex well for the future as they give up royal duties.
It came as the Queen went to church near Sandringham in her first public appearance since it was announced the couple were giving up their HRH titles.
In her statement yesterday she wished them "a happy and peaceful new life".
But Thomas Markle, Meghan's father, accused them of "cheapening" the Royal Family.
Speaking briefly to reporters at a summit in Berlin, Mr Johnson said he had been confident the Royal Family would find a way forward for Prince Harry and Meghan, adding: "I think the whole country will want to join in wishing them the very best for the future."
The Queen was met by about 100 well-wishers outside St Mary the Virgin Church in Hillington, Norfolk, where she arrived with the Duke of York.
Announcing the decision over the duke and duchess in a statement on Saturday, she said she was "particularly proud" of how quickly Meghan became one of the family and said she, Harry and Archie would always be "much loved".
The new arrangements, which will begin in the spring, mean the couple will no longer use their HRH titles and will not formally represent the Queen.
HRH, an abbreviation of His/Her Royal Highness, is used as part of the title of some members of the Royal Family.
The duke and duchess will receive no public funds for royal duties and intend to repay £2.4m of taxpayer money used for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage.
The house in Windsor, for which they will pay rent, will remain their family home as they divide their time between the UK and Canada.
Prince Harry and Meghan said they wanted to "step back" from their role as senior royals after both speaking about the media scrutiny.
The duchess is suing the Mail on Sunday for publishing what she says was a private letter to her father, raising the prospect of him testifying against her in court.
In comments for a forthcoming Channel 5 documentary which emerged on Sunday, Thomas Markle said the Royal Family is "one of the greatest long-living institutions ever" and accused the couple of "destroying it, they are cheapening it, making it shabby".
"Every young girl wants to become a princess and she got that and now she's tossing that away," he said. "It looks like she's tossing that away for money."
The announcement about the couple's future comes after they held talks with the Queen on Monday.
The Queen said following "many months of conversations and more recent discussions" she was "pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family".
In its statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family."
BBC royal correspondent Daniela Relph told BBC Radio 5 Live: "When they first issued that statement about what they wanted, (on 8 January) they talked about forging this progressive role within the Royal Family, about stepping back from royal duties. This isn't stepping back, it's stepping away entirely."
She said the question that will "hang over them" for the next year is what their commercial life will look like.
Buckingham Palace said the duke and duchess understood they were required to withdraw from royal duties, including official military appointments.
"While they can no longer formally represent the Queen, the Sussexes have made clear that everything they do will continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty," it said.
The statement added that the pair would continue to maintain their private patronages and associations - the duke currently holds 16 patronages, including the Invictus Games Foundation, the Royal Marines and the Rugby Football League; and the duchess four - the National Theatre, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, London-based animal charity Mayhew, and women's charity Smart Works.

IS TRYING TO AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw a clip on the internet of Harry chatting to some Disney bigwig, trying to persuade him to give Meghan a voice part in an upcoming Disney movie, but he didn't seem that interested.
I don't know what's going to happen but Harry should have listened to his big brother's advice and got to know Meghan better first before marrying her. As for her, she seems out of her depth marrying into the Royal Family. I don't think she knew what she was getting herself into. This is unlike Catherine, who was prepped by the wiser William and even her family before they married.
Just to point out, Frogmore Cottage is in Windsor, Berkshire, to the west of London. It was built in 1801 on the direction of Queen Charlotte, George III's wife and Harry's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.
The cottage was originally known as Double Garden Cottage, but took its current name from when Queen Victoria (George III's and Charlotte's granddaughter) had breakfast at the cottage on 28th June 1875 and noted an "immense number of little frogs" which she found "quite disgusting".

Re: megxit
Politician? GOvernment employee? Except in Canada he will have to speak French to work for the feds.
Re: megxit
Military officer.....................
Security work of some sort.........he could be his own first customer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Public Relations........................the guy is certainly comfortable in front of a crowd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe he will take up Cdn citizenship and try to get elected???????????????????????
LIE-beral John Turner was a Brit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-beral Dion is a dual French/Cdn citizen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NDPee Tom Mulcair is dual French and Cdn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of precedent for dual citizen MP`s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all there are currently TWENTY TWO MP`s with either DUAL OR TRIPLE CITIZENSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frankly I think having triple citizenship shows a dangerous lack of ability to commit to much of anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That brings up an interesting Question. If Harry abdicated his duties as Royal Parasite does he even qualify for taxpayer subsidized security?
A quick google search:

73%
Of those polled, 73% said Canadian taxpayers should not pay for any of the costs associated with living in the country. Prince Harry and Ms. Markle announced in an Instagram post last week they had chosen “to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role” within the royal family.”

And B.C. is not exactly a hot bed of French language or culture EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the B.C. coastal climate is probably closer to what Harry is used to in England?????????????????

Apparently you are unaware that Cdn LEGAL WEED SALES ARE LOW now............................
FALLING AS WE SPEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Legal Weed is a costly novelty item that backfired on LIE-berals who were planning to turn it into a civil service job creation SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!
What is it with Meghan? First she somehow caused her real family to fall out with her and then she caused her husband's family to fall out with her.
He must have heard the taxpayers view on the issue, and trying to keep it under the radar
