So much for being financially INDEPENDENT! UK taxpayers will still pay Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's '£600,000 security and £130,000 travel costs' while they will get £2.3m-a-year from Prince Charles' Duchy

Daily Mail

• Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said they are 'stepping back' from their duties 
• They also claim to be losing access to Sovereign Grant shared by the Queen 
• But if they continue royal duties their travel is covered from £83million pot
• They also receive £2m-plus from Prince Charles, who now faces a big decision 
• Couple and their son Archie require 24/7 police bodyguards costing £600k
• Refurbishment on Frogmore Cottage cost £2.4m - but work is still not finished 
• 
  The couple have launched a new website, registered in March 2019 and developed secretly in Toronto, and it announced their desire to achieve 'financial independence' - but critics have branded this impossible.
• Harry and Meghan say they will still 'proudly' carry out official overseas visits in support of the Queen, which are also covered by the Sovereign Grant. In the last financial year they claimed £130,000 for travel costs, including £80,000 alone for their trip to Australia, New Zealand and Pacific islands such as Tonga and Fiji at the end of 2018.
  And they are also demanding to keep their publicly-funded private protection officers costing up to £1million-a-year and paid for by the Home Office.
