Meghan Markle, Prince Harry 'personally' covering security costs, report says

Following Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's announcement that they'd "step back" as senior members of the royal family, questions have swirled as to who would front the cost of their security.

According to People magazine, citing a source, the answer is: they're paying for it themselves.

"All security costs are being personally covered by the couple," the source told the outlet.

Senior royals have been provided with special taxpayer-funded security force from the Metropolitan Police, but the two no longer were considered to be senior royals. Their website previously explained that the Queen "mandated" their security.
