Aussie taxpayers forced to pay bill for Prince Charles visit...

Australian taxpayers will be charged close to half a million dollars for this month’s brief royal tour.

Prince Charles and Camilla are due to fly out of Australia on Sunday after a five-day tour that took them to Adelaide, the Barossa Valley, Canberra, Sydney, Perth and Albany.

But they’ll be leaving a hefty bill behind.

The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet has confirmed it is covering the costs of the trip.

“The total cost of the visit is not yet known but it is expected that it will be consistent with past visits,” a spokesperson said.

The department pointed out the royal couple’s last visit, a similar six-day trip in November 2012, cost it $437,057. Full story...
