Prince's security 'met centrally'

The estimated £1.4m bill for security costs over Prince William's living arrangements will be met centrally and not locally, it has emerged.

The prince has faced pressure from a taxpayers' lobby group to live on an RAF base on Anglesey, where he is training, rather than a cottage in the area.

The Sunday Times said North Wales Police was providing security.

Official sources told the BBC the extra cost would be picked up centrally and not by North Wales Police.
