The British taxpayer was hit with a £50,000 bill for five helicopter flights taken by Prince William for occasions such as a stag party and a visit to his girlfriend's family home.
The flights drew criticism as an alleged abuse of the Prince's RAF training, which ended in April.

Ministry of Defence figures, released after a freedom of information request by The Guardian, have now shown exactly how much they cost.

The Chinook flight William took to attend a stag do on the Isle of Wight was worth £8,716.
