Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's security detail will no longer be funded by the Canadian government.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to transition out of their roles as official members of the Royal Family, they're starting to feel the impact of their departure.
According to the Office of the Minister of Public Safety for Canada, the security offered to Meghan, Harry and son Archie Harrison will "cease in the coming weeks in keeping with their change in status.
They say the Duke and Duchess of Sussex choosing to re-locate to Canada on a part-time basis presented their government with a unique and unprecedented set of circumstances.

As the Duke and Duchess are currently recognized as Internationally Protected Persons, Canada has an obligation to provide security assistance on an as needed basis," the office explains.
