Protecting the Duke of York doesn't come cheap.
by royal biographer Matthew Dennison—but that hasn't stopped him from receiving special treatment. Treatment that many take issue with, all things considered., the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures has assessed that Prince Andrew is still entitled to taxpayer-funded police protection. This is despite the fact that he has been stripped of royal duties and the HRH title.
The Duke of York may be the Queen's son, which affords him some level of security detail, but he's also been accused by of rape and sexual abuse when she was 17 years old. The case against him is what ultimately brought about the removal of Andrew from royal public life, as well as his military and charitable affiliations.Still, it's no doubt a hard pill to swallow for many, particularly those who see it as a frustrating double standard. As has been frequently reported in the news, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have twice petitioned to have police protection when they're in the UK, only to be denied.
