Government of Canada intends to cease contributing to security costs for the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Canada has been providing RCMP security to Prince Harry and Meghan since November, Public Safety Canada has confirmed to CBC News, after weeks of speculation about whether Canadians would have to pay for the couple’s security bills while they are in this country.
