@very-rustysaid As it turns out the RCMP may not be responsible for the Royals security if they are going to be living here. I have heard rumours that their security will cost 100,000 dollars a day! Sounds like a lot to me, could this be true?

Sure looks like they are tooling Canada big time. And they are worth millions? and they are consulting with the Obamas and Oprah Winfrey on how to score big bucks in the US. This all disgusts me. Millionaires and soon-to-be billionaires and they have to get taxpayers from Canada to pay for their security? Even Gates and Bezos don't have that hutzpah

Well if they need advise on how to make money quickly, Obama and Oprah are the two people to ask, either that or Quid Pro Joe Biden.
Maybe he can consult a Ukrainian gas company or some such nonsense.

Well aren't they, somewhat, wealthy? Why is it incumbent on anyone, other than themselves, to take care of any of their expenses? I have not anywhere nearly as much income as they do and yet I pay for all of mine without any "assistance". OK I'm not, and never have been, a "royal" but hey luck of the draw eh? I say, welcome them with open arms but not open pocketbooks. The money that would be spent on them would do well to help those Canadians who are at the diametrically opposite end of the social spectrum who really need the funds.

I believe that is still being discussed on who will be paying for what and how much.
I don't see why the tax payers of Canada should be paying anything if they are going to be living here 6 months of the year, that is a bit more than visit in my opinion.
We will just have to wait and see how it plays out as we as ordinary citizens don't have much say in what is done. I know a poll was done and 61% said we shouldn't be responsible for paying for them at all.
They are reportedly worth 40 million between them. The interest on one million is around 25,000 a year so with 40 million do the math. They have more than enough to live on without our help. Now the 100,000 a day for security could present problems for them I would assume. I think that is part of what is being worked out.

Why can't they just have two pit bulls, like any other Tom, Dick, or Harry? I can't believe that would cost 100,000 a day.
@moonbussaid But isn't that what Harry wants to be? And Meghan is a commoner, so she's that already anyway.
UPDATE: It has been on the news over this side of the pond that Harry and Meghan will have to look after their own security. The RCMP are only used as security along with the English security during Royal visits. This move would not be considered a visit, but Canada certainly welcomes them. I am sure they will draw lots of media and tourist attraction over here.
Summit?
