The Mail on Sunday understands that although the 王室の 保護 予算 has not been 削減(する) this year, a stringent examination of each trip's 安全 必要物/必要条件s in 未来 is likely to save up to £5million a year.

A 上級の Whitehall source said last night: 'Each 王室の trip abroad is now 存在 looked at with a 罰金-tooth 徹底的に捜す. Every trip is 存在 診察するd in 詳細(に述べる) to 査定する/(税金などを)課す 脅し levels, what we may need to 供給する and what 安全 保護 is 利用できる in the host country.'

A Met 広報担当者 追加するd: 'Like everyone else, we have to 削減(する) costs wherever possible and this is one area we are looking at.'

A 安全 services source said: 'There are about 185 護衛s working around the clock 保護するing the 王室のs here and abroad. Spiralling costs associated with 支払う/賃金, travel and accommodation have led to the 削減(する)s overseas.'

But the 欠如(する) of police 保護 for the Gloucesters when they visited New York three weeks ago 原因(となる)d some びっくり仰天 at the Foreign Office.

A source there said: 'The 恐れる is this could leave the couple 攻撃を受けやすい in dangerous cities. The fact that they were walking around New York without any 保護 is 関心ing, not just because of 恐れるs over mugging or テロ行為 but because 最終的に their every movement can be traced by 可能性のある kidnappers.

'If anything, the 非,不,無-必須の staff should be 削減(する) 支援する, not the 安全 people, who are 必須の.'

The 王室の Family's overseas trips cost taxpayers £6.2million last year in 輸送(する) costs alone, 含むing their 側近s.

The Queen is said to be anxious about the spiralling costs associated with the 王室の Family's 世界的な 約束/交戦s.

A Buckingham Palace 広報担当者 said: 'We do not comment on 安全 事柄s. We continue to 捜し出す the most cost-効果的な methods of travel to enable members of the 王室の Family to 請け負う their 義務s both in the UK and overseas.'
