Queen's children and grandchildren to lose armed guards | Members of the British royal family - including some of the Queen's children and grandchildren - are set to lose armed guards. This controversial rearrangement
has been done with the aim of saving a massive 50 million pounds, reports News
of the World. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie as well as Prince Edward are among
those facing government cuts. Scotland Yard need to cut down the royal protection
bill by a third of the annual 150million pound cost. But critics fear that the
supporting cast of minor royals are being turned into The Expendables, like the
title of the new Sylvester Stallone movie. But a total axe on bodyguards has not
been ruled out for Edward and wife Sophie, or the Queen's cousins, the Dukes of
Kent and Gloucester and Princess Alexandra. Senior Scotland Yard officers have
privately expressed concern over the soaring bill for royalty protection. They
argued that acting as "nannies" to royals not even recognised in the street is
unjustifiable in the current economic climate. |
