Security tab

It is being said that http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=prince%20Charles will pick the tab for prince Williams and Kate Middleton's wedding, but the ceremony will still leave the taxpayer with a security tab of tens of millions of pounds as the rest of recession-hit Britain tightens its belt.

Kate's parents, Michael and Carole, will not be asked to make a contribution . And Charles is expected to dig into his wealth from the Duchy of Cornwall estate, estimated to be worth $1 billion, reports The Daily Mail.

Please explain to me what "security tab" means here.

Prince Charles will pick up the tab for the cost of the wedding but will not pay for security such as the police and body guards necessary to protect the members of the Royal family on the day. This is the cost that the article refers to as the "security tab".
