Which Royals Get It And How Does It Work

Typically, non-working royals do not receive state-funded security. Princess Anne's children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, were never bestowed with royal titles per Anne's wishes, and they do not work for the crown, so they aren't granted MPS protection. While Prince Edward's children, Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn, do have royal titles, it's unlikely that they've ever received taxpayer-funded security, as their father is only granted such protection while carrying out official duties for the palace.

Additionally, their mother, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (previously Countess of Wessex), told The Times of London that she and her husband have raised their kids "with the understanding they are very likely to have to work for a living." As they will therefore presumably never work for the monarchy, they're unlikely to qualify for security on that front as well.

Prince Andrew's daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, reportedly received publicly funded security before 2011, when they were stripped of such protection. As both women have full-time careers outside of the monarchy, it can be deduced that they no longer qualify for MPS guards, according to Express.
