A wish that was not respected? Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle had their security removed, funded by the British taxpayer, when they decided to give up their royal functions in 2020 to go into exile in the United States. A decision strongly contested by the Duke of Sussex who has therefore been financing his security and that of his family for three years – on a daily basis and during his visits to England – thanks to a private security service.
