Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left Canada for the United States.

As announced a few weeks ago, the couple no longer bears Royal titles and are expected to live independently.

After this startling revelation, the couple quickly moved to Canada, where they received security cover from the Canadian government, but only for a while.

However, Trump has his qualms about this.Taking to Twitter recently, the US President claimed that he was a great admirer of the United Kingdom and the Queen. However, Harry and Meghan would have to pay for their own security cover. “US will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!”, Trump asserted.

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan threw rubber gumboots on Tuesday as children cheered in a competition in New Zealand's largest city of Auckland, though Harry`s team ended up losing to his wife's side. 
&nbsp; 
A 6.1 magnitude earthquake felt by thousands of people in New Zealand did not disrupt the schedule of the couple, who are on the final leg of a Pacific tour that has included Australia, Fiji and Tonga.&nbsp; 
 
"There wasn't too much of a rivalry," Isabella Iti, 10, said after the gumboot toss. "I think she was thinking that there was no chance that she would win. But she did." 
 
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were visiting a conservation area north of Auckland that had been set aside as part of a Commonwealth initiative to honour Queen Elizabeth's 66 years on the British throne.&nbsp; 
 
There, the couple split off and each led a team of cheering children in a competition to see who could throw a rubber rainboot - known locally as a 'gumboot'&nbsp;- the farthest. 
 
Meghan, wearing black J Crew jeans and a Karen Walker blazer, led her team to victory after tossing a blue boot about a metre (3.2 feet) further than Harry`s red one. 
 
 
Gumboot throwing is famously associated with the rural town of Taihape, around 420 km (260 miles) south of Auckland, which hosts an annual gumboot festival.&nbsp; 
 
Mike Jebsen, chief executive of the QEII National Trust, said the mayor of Taihape gave his blessing to hold the gumboot competition.&nbsp; 
 
"We wanted to give the royal couple a taste of rural New Zealand, and there`s nothing more quintessentially Kiwi than a gumboot throw!" he said. 
 
In the afternoon, Meghan and Harry travelled to South Auckland to visit the head office of Pillars, a charity that mentors the children of prisoners.&nbsp; 
 
For their wedding in May, Meghan and Harry had asked for charitable donations in lieu of gifts. The New Zealand government gave NZ$5,000 ($3,271) to Pillars in recognition of couple`s interest in programmes that support vulnerable children.&nbsp;

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan joined in a group hug at a "Fluro Friday" event on Australia`s Bondi Beach organised by surfers to raise awareness of mental health issues. 
 
Harry, who has said he sought counselling in his late twenties to deal with the grief of losing his mother Diana, served in British Army and campaigns to provide mental health help for soldiers who need it.&nbsp; 
 
Harry, wearing khaki trousers and blue shirt, with Meghan in an ankle-length striped dress, kicked off their shoes to sit with members of community group OneWave, which tackles mental health issues using "saltwater therapy, surfing and fluro". 
 
Fluro, short for fluorescent, refers to the brightly-coloured shirts and flower garlands that members of the surfing group wear. 
 
After listening to speakers in the circle for a few minutes, Harry, wearing a garland of blue flowers around his neck, and Meghan, one of pink, joined in the group hug. 
 
&nbsp;''Each and every one of us will experience poor mental health at some stage in our lives," Charlotte Connell, who was in the circle, told the Australian Associated Press. 
 
The couple occasionally clasped hands during the circle event, and later posed with a surfboard.&nbsp; 
 
Harry served in the British Army for 10 years, including two stints in Afghanistan, and now works with several charities, including supporting wounded soldiers. 
 
&nbsp;Along with his brother Prince William and his wife Catherine, Harry also set up a mental health charity. 
 
Prince Harry and Meghan are on their first international tour since marrying in May. It will also take them to New Zealand and the South Pacific islands of Fiji and Tonga.&nbsp; 
 
After the event, the couple strolled along Bondi Beach, shaking hands and posing for photographs with some of the thousands of people who turned out for the Royals, snapping pictures and video with their smartphones.&nbsp; 
 
Crowds have thronged for a glimpse of the couple, who are expecting their first child in the northern spring. The child will be seventh in line to the British throne. 
 
The trip coincides with the Invictus Games to be held in Sydney from Saturday until Oct. 27. The games, founded by Harry, are an international paralympic-style event for military personnel wounded in action.

Australia: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joins in group hug at 'Fluro Friday'

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife&nbsp;Meghan Markle, arrived with the gift of much-needed rain and cheer on Wednesday for the rural Australian city of Dubbo, where farmers are struggling with a prolonged drought. 
 
The prince charmed the crowd at a picnic in the town`s main park, standing at a podium in the pouring rain with Meghan holding an umbrella over him, on the second day of their Pacific tour, which takes in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga. 
 
"The rain is a gift!" Prince Harry told the thousands who had come out to see the royal couple in Dubbo, about 300 km (185 miles) northwest of Sydney. 
 
They had earlier visited a farm hit by the drought and Harry recalled his own stay on an Australian farm 15 years ago, where he said he was chased by countless cattle and perfected the Aussie salute of swatting flies. 
 
"You are the salt of the earth. Honest, hard-working, and as tough as they come," Harry said.&nbsp; 
 
In an issue close to his heart, he urged those facing mental health problems due to the tough times plaguing rural Australia to seek help. 
 
"You are all in this together and, if I may say, personally, we are all in this together - because asking for help was one of the best decisions that I ever made. You will be continually amazed how life changes for the better," he said to cheers and applause. 
&nbsp; 
The royal couple`s visit to Australia coincides with the Invictus Games in Sydney from Oct. 20-27. The games, founded by Harry, are an international paralympic-style event that aims to lift the spirits of wounded military veterans. 
 
A 5-year-old boy earlier stole the show in a long line of school children who met the royals at Dubbo airport. 
 
Luke Vincent, who has Down Syndrome and adores Santa Claus, threw his arms around Meghan when she knelt down to greet him and tugged at Harry's beard and patted him on the head when the prince hugged the boy. 
 
Meghan, who is expecting the royal couple`s first child in the northern spring, wore skinny black jeans, a white shirt, long grey jacket and black boots with her hair tied back in a ponytail. 
 
Prince Harry and Meghan, on their first international tour since marrying in May, also visited the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Dubbo.

The medical service was anointed as "royal" in 1955 after Queen Elizabeth, Harry`s grandmother, visited Australia.

The newly-married royal couple is back in news as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decide to return the £7 million-worth (Rs 625 million) of wedding gifts as these are unsolicited presents from well-wishers and companies looking for publicity.

As per royal guidelines, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are prohibited from accepting any gifts for commercial purposes. This is for all brands and commercial ventures who are looking to gain by their association with the royal couple. This also includes any well-wishers that the couple personally doesn’t know of.&nbsp;

This is why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their public wedding registry ask for donations to charities in lieu of presents. Prior to their wedding, the couple issued guidelines about the big day - including a line about gifts that read: “It should be noted that gifts cannot be brought to St George’s Chapel or the Reception that follows at Windsor Castle. Guests are advised to seek further guidance on delivery arrangements for any gifts to Kensington Palace.”

In a statement, the palace said: “When gifts are accepted, the consent of the Member of the Royal Family should be contingent upon the enterprise undertaking not to exploit the gift for commercial purposes.

“Gifts offered by private individuals living in the UK not personally known to the Member of the Royal Family should be refused where there are concerns about the propriety or motives of the donor or the gift itself.”

Apart from the £7m worth of gifts they cannot keep, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also received some gifts that they won’t have to return, including a pair of koalas named Meghan and Harry from the Australian region of New South Wales. The koalas will be kept at the Taronga Zoo.&nbsp;
