Security costs for Sussex return to UK estimated in millions

Security for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could cost British taxpayers up to £5 million a year, according to reports. The couple, who now live outside the United Kingdom, need protection when they return to the country. A former senior police officer has said that the costs could run into millions of pounds. The Daily Mail reported the £5 million annual figure. The Sussexes were still waiting to hear what security arrangements they would receive for their UK visits. The possible expense has raised questions about who should pay for protection for members of the royal family who no longer live in Britain.
