Harry and Meghan Back in Britain: A Quiet Return Amid a Relentless British Press

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have left California and moved back to the U.K., keeping their California and Portugal homes and planning to stay in Britain for an undetermined period. They visited King Charles at Highgrove, with Archie and Lilibet set to start the autumn term in the U.K. While reconciliation with the royal establishment is possible, the U.K. press remains notoriously hostile toward Meghan, Harry, and their Netflix-backed Archewell projects. Public mood appears wary, with polls suggesting many Britons doubt they can rebuild popularity, and questions linger about security arrangements and who pays for protection as their royal role remains limited.

RCMP security bill for Prince Harry in Canada hits half a million, CBC finds

CBC News, via a access-to-information request, says the RCMP spent at least $539,575 to provide security for Prince Harry in Canada from 2014/15 to 2019/20, more than any other internationally protected person visiting the country during that period and higher than the $334,337 previously disclosed. The figure reflects incremental security expenses tied to Harry’s Canada visits for Invictus Games and his relationship with Meghan Markle, with the full cost potentially higher since basic police salaries aren’t included.

Switzerland demands France pay G7 security bill amid cross-border protests

Swiss authorities are pressing France to cover part of the €21.7–€27.2 million security costs tied to the G7 summit near Evian-les-Bains, arguing treaties complicate withholding funds though Geneva previously paid €446 million under a 1973 agreement.

NJ Transit to recoup World Cup costs with $150 round-trip train fare

NJ Transit will charge $150 round-trip for World Cup trains to MetLife Stadium to cover about $62 million in extra security and labor costs (reduced to $48 million after grants). The agency says the price is not profit, but a way to avoid making everyday commuters subsidize World Cup fans—at normal fares, commuters would subsidize roughly 92% of the service. About 40,000 seats per match will be sold for eight games, with special rail service and bus/shuttle options; tickets go on sale May 13. NY leaders criticized the price and urged FIFA to subsidize transportation.
