CNN: Harry, Meghan Upset the Royal Family Is Not Giving Them Money for Security

‘He doesn’t really have money left over by his mom’

EXCERPT:

CAMEROTA: “Diane, one of the revelations last night was that their son when she was pregnant, their son, Archie, was not going to be given a title and they were not going to be given security. Can you explain this one to us, why would that baby not be given security? The royal family doesn’t want a security issue of an emergency of some kind on their hands. I mean it was interesting to hear Harry talk about just how much the purse strings are controlled by Prince Charles. I don't think that I quite understood, they have no money. He has no connection, he doesn’t really have -- he had money I guess left to him by his mom, but they can’t rely on the royal money now and that even security. They were already having to pay for themselves.”
CLEHANE: “Right. Well, the idea that they were moving out of the U.K. and going literally to Canada and there was that whole discussion about who was going to pay their security costs. But the basic idea is this goes back to several years ago, when Charles has said he wants to slim down monarchy, so there are many people in the family, Prince Andrew’s daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie they’ve lost their protection. So there is a sense that they are whittling down who in effect gets protection and titles and the like, but the idea that this is Charles’ son, this is the son of Diana, you would think there would be some kind of provision and sort of different kind of treatment, because he is so close. I mean, he is seventh in line -- sixth in line to the throne.”
