HARRY and Meghan won’t be laughing when comedy show The Windsors returns tonight.

The third series depicts the Prince as a yoga-loving hippy while his woke wife campaigns against avocados.

Tom Durant-Pritchard, who takes over Harry’s role in the Channel 4 satire, said: “We’ve now got a new, sort of domesticat­ed, returning-froma-health-spa, barefoot prince.

“It’s been really enjoyable to see if he manages to adapt to his new life as a yogi.”

Meghan is portrayed by Kathryn Drysdale as the show takes the mickey out of the couple’s exit to Canada.

PRINCE Harry and Meghan have sparked a major row over who picks up the bill for their security – after estimates trebled to £20million-a-year.

The spiralling costs to protect the couple and their nine-monthold son Archie have prompted senior police officers to draft emergency plans to double their protection team.

Specialist cops have been asked to apply for roles which could see them rotate jobs every two months, working on both sides of the Atlantic.

One source said: “Top brass at the Met have been told to deliver the calculatio­ns before the Government makes a decision.

But security sources have revealed “no agreement or concrete plan” is in place, as the Met Police and Home Office wrangle over how it will be funded and to what extent.

Sources with knowledge of the plans have told how previous calculatio­ns of between £3million and £6million-a-year to provide round the clock security were “woefully inadequate”.
