I don't think they intend to work, simply collect cash for being who they are.
Q. Do you need a work permit for not doing anything and being paid for it?

Where are you getting this information from? This is the first time I've heard the figure $500,000 as Canada's share of the approx $1.7 million annual security cost for the Sussex's while in Canada. So far the government hasn't released any dollar figures in the news I've been reading. Also, please, the source for them planning to live and work in Los Angeles. Is this based on the celebrity magazine speculation from last summer?

It's in the news, just about everywhere!

Canada offers to pick up Harry and Meghan's £500,000 security bill

My guess is that Meghan probably still has PR, she lived in Canada until a couple of years ago. If so, sponsoring Harry will be easy.

From what I'm reading, if the election were to be held today, The Donald would get re-elected and if so, I'm sure he would think it was in the countries best interest to have unlimited terms brought in.

Pounds and Cdn $ symbols can be used interchangeably, but won't mean anything if you do, really. The last update from our government says security cost responsibilities are still being debated.

As for plans to move to LA, the un-named source quoted by the DM sounds a lot like the royal watcher who said the same in last summer's magazine articles.

The source is the Daily Mail? Fat chance of that happening then.

I haven't read much of what is going on, but I did read the Queens statement this morning regarding H&M moving to Canada. Good luck to them both. Hopefully their child can lead a normal life growing up in Vancouver Island or wherever they settle on.

Half the people on this forum move to Canada 'for the kids' so why shouldn't H&M be given the same opportunity. He can still do his Invictus games planning and she can go back to acting.

Yep, whatever they want. If she wants to stay home and play with the baby and bake cookies it's nobody's business.

Nobody's busines PROVIDED they pay their own way and don't rely on HRH to pay nor Canadian or UK taxpayers. They want to be financially independent - then do so, stop taking hand outs and expecting everyone else to pay. If they had to rely on their personal income only, I wonder how long it would last? He has a few million from parents, no doubt..

Just watch the next broadcast of CBC National News when you have time, and you'll be up to speed on what the current situation is; it's their top story. I wouldn't worry about their earning potential either. Even if Harry only works half-time on Royal engagements that probably pays enough to keep body and soul together, and between that and all the assorted charity projects I doubt if either of them would have time for a straight job. They don't just lay around all day being Royal.
