However, they play to reimburse the country back.
After their move from the U.K. to North America, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s security cost Canada $40,000 in taxes, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Page Six reported on Tuesday, June 16, that the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s security fees between November 18 to January 19 cost the country $41,500 in taxes.
As royal fans know, Meghan and Harry announced their decision to step back as “senior” members of the royal family in January. The couple first moved to Canada before relocating to Los Angeles, where they currently live with their 1-year-old son Archie. But back to Canada. Per Page Six, the couple lived on Vancouver Island in Canada for a couple months for a short time at the end of 2019 and a couple months at the beginning of 2020 before they packed their bags and moved to L.A.
According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, which has been described as the nation’s watchdog, Meghan and Harry cost the country $41,500 in security fees, but the number could even be higher. Per the Federation, that number only accounts for The Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s “overtime, travel, meals, incidentals, and accommodations,” which means that the amount could be higher once all cost are accounted for.

Yet we are confident that every human being has the potential and opportunity to make a difference—as seen now across the globe, in our families, our communities and those on the front line—together we can lift each other up to realise the fullness of that promise.
What we do know is that Meghan and Harry are paying for their security by themselves while they’re in America, as made clear by President Donald Trump’s very strict tweet. There are also reports that Prince Charles may step up to the plate to pay for his son and daughter-in-law’s U.S. security detail.
