Prince Harry’s increased security bill for upcoming New York trip to be footed by public

Prince Harry will receive an increased police presence during his upcoming trip to New York, Express.co.uk has learned.

The New York Police Department, which is funded by the state’s taxpayers, has declared that they will increase protection efforts for when Harry next arrives in Manhattan, later this month.

The move comes after Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle’s so-called “near catastrophic” paparazzi car chase through Manhattan in May 2023.

According to a letter submitted in the UK court case regarding the Duke’s security arrangements, NYPD determined that the paparazzi acted in a “reckless” manner when pursuing the royals.

While the Sussexes did not file any charges following their ordeal, the couple will now receive a heightened level of security during their future trips to the Big Apple which will include later this month when Harry is in town.
