Canadian taxpayers spent more to protect Prince Harry during his visits to Canada over a five-year period than for any other internationally protected person who visited Canada during that time. An RCMP document obtained by CBC News provides a rare glimpse into the secretive world of protecting internationally protected persons. Canadian taxpayers spent more to protect Prince Harry over five years during his visits to Canada than any other internationally protected person over the same period, CBC News has learned. According to a document obtained by CBC News under Canada's access to information law, the RCMP spent at least $539,575 to provide security between 2014/15 and 2019/20 when Prince Harry travelled to Canada for events like the Invictus Games and to date his future wife, Meghan Markle. The cost to protect Prince Harry and, later, his wife accounted for around 10 per cent of the over $5.2 million spent during that period to provide security to more than 100 internationally protected persons who visited Canada. The two-page list also provides a rare glimpse into the secretive world of taxpayer-funded security for a select group of people who qualify as internationally protected persons. However, the list doesn't include expenses for other members of the Royal Family like Princess Anne or Prince Edward, who visited Canada during that period on what were described as "private working" visits.
