Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's security in the UK could be fully self-funded.

The question of whether Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children will receive adequate security protection upon their return to the UK is far from settled.

Having left their country and royal life, the Sussexes are no longer entitled to police protection. Prince Harry has on several occasions offered to personally pay for security when visiting his home country, but has been repeatedly refused. However, if it is eventually granted, the cost could be quite high. Otherwise, the amount could be borne by the British taxpayer.

"It's very difficult to give an exact figure," Richard Eich, operations director at Mobius International Security, told Us Weekly. 'The cost of a personal security officer in the Metropolitan Police is estimated to be around £100,000 a year.'

The expert added, "It may seem like hope on paper, but in reality it is much more, and the cost is certainly quite huge."

Aich told Us Weekly that the royal commission must resolve this "very difficult" and "unprecedented" situation.

"This committee will determine who will receive police protection and, if so, in what capacity. The responsibility of this committee is to determine the police protection for members of parliament, including the prime minister, the minister of foreign affairs and the minister of the interior, in addition to members of the royal family."

Aich understands where the hesitation comes from. 'After all, members of the royal family are providing a service to the people. 'They have loyal duties to perform, and because of that, the British taxpayer funds them to uphold those duties.' (Harry) has abandoned his royal duties and is no longer serving the British people, is he? Thus, in the eyes of the government, the question arises as to why the British taxpayer should pay for his personal guardianship.

But cost is not everything. There is the question of whether the Duke can visit his family without his safety being threatened.

"The question of cost should not focus solely on what services the Duke does or does not provide to the public.

"The fact that he is a senior member of the royal family exposes him to a range of serious threats, and his risk for such threats has increased since he left the royal family. The fact that he no longer has police protection (among other things) means that his risk for threats has certainly skyrocketed."
