THEY may have stepped down as senior royals earlier this year – but according to a security expert, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry never be able to fully escape the limelight.
Appearing on Us Weekly’s Royally Us podcast, former royal protection officer Simon Morgan said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could struggle to stay under the radar now they’re living in LA.
The expert argued that the couple – who are reportedly in lockdown at Tyler Perry’s £14.5m mansion – will “never get the privacy they crave”.
He said: “There will always be an interest in the Sussexes and that interest may peak and trough as time goes on.
“But I think the more that they are not in the public eye, the more that they will want to know what they are up to and that creates its own monster within itself.”
Although Simon acknowledged how easy it is to say the couple could escape the limelight by “not going out or speaking to anyone”, he added: “That’s not how people wish to live, so the work is always on the protection team.
“The work is always on them to deliver a protection package that allows them to lead that lifestyle, but ultimately you just have to mitigate the risks.”
Discussing the challenges Harry and Meghan’s security team will face, the expert added: “I think a lot of it will depend on how [Harry and Meghan] actually engage with people in terms of the ordinary person in the street.”
After Megxit was announced in January, the couple temporarily lived in Canada before relocating to LA when the coronavirus crisis began to be near Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland.
Earlier this month, campaigners alleged the royal couple had cost the Canadian taxpayers £30k in security bills.
