Royal expert Charles Rae told talkRADIO’s Mike Graham that the UK is still paying for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s security. Mr Rae stated that Prince Charles has agreed to give the Duke and Duchess of Sussex £2million to help with their security costs despite the couple choosing to relocate to the United States. 

Mr Graham asked: “We are still as far as we know paying out a bit for their security aren’t we?”

Mr Rae said: “We are because at the moment Prince Charles is giving them £2million a year.

“It is going to be looked at in 12 months.

“It is to help pay for some of that security so they are getting money.

“The problem with them is that they moved to Canada and then the States because they were going to start careers.

“Meghan was presumably going to go back into showbiz and then along comes coronavirus and squashes all of their plans.

“Everybody’s plans have been screwed up and they are no different.

“I don’t know where they are going to get that money from though in the future.”

“They were on a surprise Zoom call to Crisis Text Line staffers in the US.

“They actually gatecrashed their team meeting because they wanted to thank the staff and share words of encouragement.

“Of course, services like Crisis are experiencing a deluge of people calling in at the moment because as we all face the lockdown it can be an incredibly challenging time for people for a number of reasons.

“I think while organisations like this do the best they can, they are admittedly finding it very hard to keep up with the demand.”

Buckingham Palace has been approached for comment.
