‘It’s all about status’: The case against Meghan’s taxpayer-funded security

In an exclusive bonus episode of today’s The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg speak to The Telegraph’s Deputy Royal Editor Victoria Ward on her exclusive report into the Duchess of Sussex receiving her own risk assessment to determine whether she too should be entitled to taxpayer-funded security.

It comes as Prince Harry is due to hear back on the results of a risk management board hearing carried out into his security status last month.

Camilla and Jacob delve into the details of this development with Victoria, which follows on from Meghan sharing a glimpse into the Sussexes’ lives in the UK on social media over the weekend.
