‘We’re treated like SKIVVIES’: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Scotland Yard protection officers ‘claim they’re sent on errands like picking up royals’ groceries and coffees’ in Canada
- Highly-trained protection officers have also been seen at organic delicatessen
- Team of 15 guards has reportedly been flown to their Canadian bolthole
- Canadian security officers are also understood to be guarding the pair
Scotland Yard officers guarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s have said they are treated ‘like skivvies’ and forced to do ‘menial tasks’ like picking up takeaways and groceries, it has been claimed.
Highly-trained protection staff have also allegedly been seen buying food from an organic delicatessen, a favourite of Meghan’s, and picking up coffees from fast food outlet Tim Hortons.
A team of 15 guards has been flown to guard the couple and their nine-month-old son Archie at their secluded Canadian bolthole, after they stood back from royal duties.
The Duke and Duchess’s security is estimated to cost taxpayers in Canada and the UK between £3million and £6million a year, as staff work round the clock two weeks at a time.

A royal security source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘While the guys are happy to be out there doing the jobs, there is a feeling they are carrying out menial tasks, like picking up takeaways and groceries.
‘They are close protection officers – and should be sticking solely to close protection rather than running errands.
‘It is dangerous for one thing, because if something were to happen it would not be good if one of them was away running an errand or picking up coffee.’
A local source also told the paper that the guards have a ‘fleet of cars’ and are burly men that seem to be British, which makes it ‘not hard to spot them in an isolated place like this’.
An insider has previously told MailOnline that the pair have British and Canadian security officers at their mansion.

It comes as Kim Kardashian’s endorsement company Sheeraz Inc. has claimed to be taking offers for the pair – which they have denied.
‘Sheeraz Inc. is now taking appearance and endorsement requests for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle,’ reads a post from the company online.
‘Sheeraz Inc. clients from the Middle East, India, US and Asia can send us official offers and we will take them directly to their representatives.’
They have expressed a desire to become self-sufficient following their withdrawal from front-line royal duties last month.
