Around 50 armed policemen are being hired to ensure Britain's Prince George receives 24-hour security at Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, east England.
The extra officers are being recruited to provide the Royal baby - who was born last week - with round-the-clock security at Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, east England, which is expected to be Prince William and Duchess Catherine's country home, Contactmusic reported.
Experts from other police forces are being drafted in as there are not currently enough firearms officers to provide sufficient protection to the little one.
A spokesman for 'Norfolk Constabulary' told a UK publication that recruitment of firearms officers remains open to both internal and external candidates.
The new-armed recruits will also carry out other duties around the property along with guarding the prince, who has been affectionately nicknamed 'Georgie' by the Royal Family.
