Report: Feds to pick up tab from Prince Harry visit

The federal government paid for the majority of the security arrangements that were put in place as a result of Prince Harry’s May 15 visit to the Greenwich Polo Club, according to reports.

The U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service headed up security for the event, and Conyers Farm – a 20-acre estate that includes the polo club – hired additional personnel for the charity match.

The Greenwich Police Department said it handled its end of the security detail with mostly on-duty officers, according to reports. Police overtime costs for the event are reportedly expected to come to about $5,000, town officials said.
