"In actuality, he receives protection... Every time there's anything to do with royals, and since he's a prince of the United Kingdom, which includes—never forget—Northern Ireland, he naturally understands. And he has," the man asserted in an interview with GB News. Dai Davies continued, "He has requested armed security on several occasions when he has visited here. "He brings his own unarmed protection squads, some of them are ex-royalty protection personnel. He will get the protection he desires in the event of a threat or other problem. It will cost you and me approximately £1 million to deal with this storm in the cup."
Due to concerns about national security, the cost of the royal family's security is unknown, however the Institute for Government think tank has estimated that it might cost the government anything from few million to up to £100 million. "The claimant's consistent position has been, and remains, that he should be given state security in light of the threats/risks he faces," Shaheed Fatima KC, the Duke's attorney, stated to the High Court.
Days after the racial controversy surrounding Harry and Meghan's baby Archie was rekindled by Omid Scobie's new book "Endgame," the Duke and Meghan's authorship battled back over security. The husband of Meghan Markle is contesting an order from the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) dated February 2020 that reduced the Duke's security detail following his departure from royal duties and relocation to the US in 2020.
