Meghan and Harry may have no choice but to speak with President Trump to ask if they can have “diplomatic protection” in the US according to the Mail Online. The POTUS now holds the power to decide whether to grant the Sussexes security agents for their new Hollywood lifestyle.

As of the 31 of March, Meghan and Harry will no longer be classed as 'international protected' as the pair complete their step down as senior royals. If the pair had remained part of the royal family, they would have been entitled to secret service agents that are allowed to carry weapons. However, as Harry and Meghan will be quitting the firm, the lines are blurry as to whether they are permitted that privilege any longer.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reported to speak with president Donald Trump

The POTUS holds the power to decide whether to grant the Sussexes security agents for their new Hollywood lifestyle.

A source told the Mail: “It will be down to Harry or his Met Police protection officers to ask for help. “There is a reciprocal agreement between the US that allows protection officers to carry their weapons. But Harry is no longer a serving royal and that is why his protection in Canada from the Mounties was withdrawn. “Someone is going to have to ask the State Department, and ultimately the decision rests with Donald Trump, for assistance. Harry cannot live in the US without armed protection.” READ MORE:Meghan told: Heal rift with Dad in case the virus kills him

Harry and Meghan will no longer be classed as an 'international protected person' as the pair complete their step down as senior royals.

If the president declines to pick up the bill for the Sussexes, it could be the British public who will have to pay the costs.

Harry who fell for a prank call by Russian hoaxers, claimed the POTUS is one of the “sick people” running the world.

During the call, Harry said: “I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry is so big in America, he has blood on his hands.” He added: “Unfortunately the world is being led by some very sick people so the people like yourselves and the younger generation are the ones that are going to make all the difference.” Meanwhile, Meghan previously suggested she wouldn’t move back to LA while Trump is president. Back in 2016 ahead of the election, Meghan blasted Trump as “divisive” and a “misogynist” on Comedy Central’s “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.”

On his trip to the UK in June last year Trump said he has no idea about Meghan’s comments. The president hit back: "I didn’t know she was nasty.” Many Twitter users have taken to the site, to express their concern about the latest Megxit developments. One said: “What nerve, they leave Canada who told them no more security and now they're here begging? too bad.”
