King Charles Will Pay For Prince Andrew’s Private Security?

According to Mirror UK, King Charles decided to pay for Prince Andrew’s private security even if the latter no longer works as a senior royal. However, the monarch did not afford his son, Prince Harry, the same privilege.

Since he and Meghan Markle quit their royal duties, Prince Harry has been funding his personal and his family’s security in the United States using his own money. And he will continue to do so to protect his loved ones.

Prince Andrew And Prince Harry Should Pay For Their Own Private Security?

But according to Norman Baker, a former Home Office minister and Privy Council member, both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry shouldn’t be given private security. After all, they are no longer doing any work for the royal family.

“Armed protection has always been a status symbol for the likes of Prince Andrew. Of course, he should pay it himself and not burden the taxpayer because he is a private individual and carries out no public duties. People like David Beckham pay for their own security so why shouldn’t Prince Andrew? We shouldn’t pay for Andrew’s or Harry’s security or any member of the Royal Family that carries out no public duties,” he said (via Mirror UK).

King Charles And Queen Consort Camilla Will Host A Huge Christmas Party For The Royal Family?

Other than Prince Andrew’s private security, King Charles has also been including his younger brother in the royal fold now more than ever. The monarch did not only extend his Christmas invitation to the Duke of York but also to his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

According to reports, the royal family’s Christmas celebration this month will be huge.

“The gathering is thought to be one of the biggest the royals have thrown in several years since the last two Christmases were hampered by the pandemic. It’s understood the family is planning to all walk to the morning church service together as a show of unity,” a source said (via Yahoo! News).

Another source also told The Sun that Queen Consort Camilla wants this year’s Christmas celebration in Sandringham to be one for the books.

“Camilla is keen that her family is at the heart of Christmas, particularly as Charles won’t have his youngest son there. It is an extremely important Christmas, coming just months after they last all gathered for the Queen’s funeral…We saw the togetherness at the Princess of Wales’ carol concert this week, and Christmas will be held in the same spirit,” the source said.
