"Canadian police have now logged the cost of their overtime during the couple's short trip - which saw them visit both Vancouver and Whistler between February 14 and 16.
The visit came as the couple promoted Harry's Invictus Games, which is set to take place in Vancouver and Whistler in February 2025."
"Whilst the Games covered £8,027 ($10,221) of the cost, taxpayers in Canada were still expected to fork out £34,558 ($44k) in overtime."
"........ Doug Maynard - who is director of security for Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 - said that taxpayers "did not fund" security during the Vancouver visit.
He said: "Taxpayers did not fund The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's security during their visit last February; their private security detail was paid by individual donations directed by the donors for that purpose.
"Public safety was ensured by Vancouver Police resources in the area should issues have arisen due to protests in the city at that time."
Their private security was "paid for by private donations?" Their private security people were the same guys that are in their employ. So they asked/demanded IG donors to pony up for the cost of their own security so they wouldn't have to pay, if the donors were informed of such....I'll bet donors were never made aware of that .
