Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan: Renewed criticism of their security requirement

Prince Harry (40) and Duchess Meghan (43) once again gathered an exceptionally large security contingent during their current visit to New York City. , the sussexes were chauffeured by Manhattan on Wednesday with an escort from four vehicles – two SUVs and two police cars without identification.

The couple stayed in the metropolis because the former “Suits” actress appeared as a speaker at the “TIME100” summit in Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Already at the beginning of the month, Meghan caused a sensation during a Broadway visit when she was traveling with a similar security convoy. At that time, a source of paparazzi circles described this approach to “Page Six” as “absolutely unusual” for celebrities.

“Taylor Swift usually has two cars – one in which she sits, and a safety vehicle with her team,” said the insider, emphasizing that even the 35 -year -old pop star was more modest than the duke couple.

Other A prominents such as Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian would typically travel with two SUVs-for themselves, their team and family members.

The use of police vehicles without labeling is seen particularly critically. “Is the city paid for it?” Asked the insider. It is unclear whether the police protection of the New York Police Department is at the expense of taxpayers.

Duchess Meghan took part in the “Time100” summit on April 23 and spoke there to “Time” CEO Jessica Sibley about her current projects and her family happiness: “A ‘confession’ that I can share with you today is that I am more happy as I have never before,” said the Duchess “People” on stage. “Having a husband and partner who is so supportive, and children who are healthy and happy – I could never have imagined that I would feel so happy and grateful at this point, and I really do that.”
