Prince Harry and Meghan have been forced to pay for their own team of private
security guards after German authorities classed
their trip as a 'private event'.
Officials in Dusseldorf have set up roadblocks along the three-mile route from airport to the city centre to allow the convoy of vehicles transporting the Duke
and Duchess to avoid being stuck in traffic.
As the visit is private there will be no police motorcycle outriders and accompanying police cars will
not turn on their flashing blue lights.
But the source said a vehicle carrying a doctor and medical
equipment will be part of the convoy for drive into the city.
A source with the city of Dusseldorf told Mail Online: 'Of course
this is a private visit, but we do not want anything to go wrong or there to be any incident.
We are showcasing the city.
'They will have their own security teams, but the police area being
consulted and will be involved. We are hosts
for the Invictus Games and we want everything to run very smoothly.
'There have been lots of consultations and plans have changed,
but we are confident it will be a trouble-free visit.'
Bodyguards who accompanied the couple to Manchester today will be by their side in Germany along with a small team of local
security staff.
Prince Harry has been embroiled in a lengthy legal battle with the UK Home Office after it previously
refused to provide police protection for the couple to return to the country after they stepped back
from royal duties and moved to California.
The Duke of Sussex, 37, has been taking legal action against the department after being told he would no longer be given the 'same degree' of personal protective security when visiting from the US.
Police will be responsible for controlling the entry of traffic close to the historic town hall
where they meet local dignitaries and later at the sports stadium where next year's sports event will be held.

end at the Merkur-Spiel sports stadium where the sports event
for disabled military veterans will be held.
