EXCLUSIVE: The Ex-Prince Andrew 'Bullying' Move That Ended Up Costing Hard-Up Taxpayers Millions

Insiders say a royal demand set off a costly security saga.

Andrew Windsor’s insistence his daughters receive round-the-clock police protection from birth is said to have triggered a security arrangement that cost British taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds.

The controversy dates back to the late 1980s when Andrew, now 66, allegedly pushed senior police officers responsible for royal security to guarantee full-time protection for his future children even before they were born.

The apparent demand is said to have been made during a meeting at Buckingham Palace with the then head of Scotland Yard’s Royalty Protection Command.
