That's $338M per annum that will cost the US or whichever country they're in.

If they do separate things it'll cost even more.

There is no way they would ever get taxpayer funded security in the US, unless she became a presidential nominee. I don't even like to type that thought. If members of Congress have had to fight to get greater protection in the wake of Jan. 6, how on earth do these morons think they're entitled? Of course. Entitled is the key word. :rolleyes:

The US State Department has a security branch that provides security for visiting dignitaries but those are short term visits. I’m not sure what security arrangements the US government makes for longer term visitors like ambassadors and consuls stationed in the US for several years at a time. But if Harry is put on par with for example the UK ambassador to the US, he may end up being provided with some US taxpayer funded security which would really be a massive waste of taxpayer $$

The picture used in the Invictus birthday posting was one taken after they had stopped on their way to Invictus to see the Queen. Speculation was the visit did not go as they had planned. Following it, the barely suppressed fury revealed in Raptor’s expressions, plus the snark comments from her petulant man child husband about people around the Queen, seem to support the opinion the Suckesses had been dealt a Royal reality check.

Moving on to the Jubilee, they were “managed” and margenalized with the Queen having participated in the seating plan. Hazbeen couldn’t overpower the cousins into a seating shuffle and Second Row Royals became a new hashtag.

Somewhere along the line articles appeared challenging Hazbeen’s account of securing the Queen’s giving her blessing to a great granddaughter named Lilibet.
It was claimed he had slyly omitted which of her names they planned to use, implying it was Elizabeth.

Not surprisingly perhaps, the request from her parents for a longed for money shot photo of the Queen with their daughter Lilibet was denied.

The world read the Queen was glad Raptor had not attended Prince Phillip’s Memorial Service.

Raptor’s 41st birthday was not acknowledged by the Queen and, in a masterful throwing of shade, Princess Anne in Edinburgh, always described as being the hardest working Royal, was instead the focus on August 4.

Not linked to the Queen, but deliciously, People magazine hitting newsstands on August 4th is adorned with an eye catching picture of the Duchess of Cambridge, captioned by a teaser of the article: The Making of a Queen. How Kate is shaping her role for the modern world and modeling herself on the reigning Queen: ‘Never complain, never explain’.

Wow, a not so subtle double gut punch to the Downgraded Douchess of Montecito: (1) it is Kate, not Raptor, who is modernizing the Monarchy and (2) by graciously not complaining and not explaining Kate makes the vomited word salad litany of perceived slights and mistreatment relentlessly spewed by Raptor even more nauseating.

Maybe the lyric from Bob Dylan’s classic, “The Times They Are a-Changin” is true?

Oh I get that, under international law the US has the responsibility to protect visiting foreign dignitaries and foreign diplomats living here, and the same is provided for US diplomats when in other countries. But are these clowns now going to claim that they are visiting foreign dignitaries to get taxpayer funded security for an indefinite period because they're cheap and/or broke? I would definitely make my voice heard about that if they go that route. They can't consider themselves US residents or British residents subject to their whims at any given moment.
