I listened to an "expert" in such protection and he listed some of the requirements.
It is obviously that all three are to be protected and that may mean three sites with Harry and Meghan in separate locations( at short notice ?) leaving sprog at home. Normally a pre visit sweep is done. How many police required for that.
Where is home now and in the future ? Redeploy police each move.
Cost of accommodation - hotel or rent property nearby plus cars for all.
Living expenses for all police.
Some shuttling of staff to from the UK for holidays or other urgent reasons.
£20M seems an underestimation.
What a can of worms !
When Charles becomes King will he chop their protection ?
