Prince Harry and literal American dream Meghan Markle will get hitched in May. Reports are, it will be an intimate, casual ceremony at a rustic little chapel in Windsor Castle. 

 

 

Heard that the hotels are all booked out within minutes or seconds once their wedding date was made known to the public.

Here's how much the royal wedding is expected to cost

Audiences across the world watching Meghan Markle marry Prince Harry on Saturday are expecting romance and pageantry, including diamond-studded tiaras and 21-foot-long dress trains. But such memorable opulence doesn't come cheap.

While the average UK wedding costs about US$37,000 (27,000 pounds, S$49,643), a considerable figure in and of itself, England-based luxury wedding planner Aimee Dunne tells CNBC Make It she estimates that, before security, the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will cost US$2.7 million (2 million pounds). A whopping US$40.1 million (30 million pounds) more will be dished out on keeping the betrothed and their guests safe, reports UK wedding site Bridebook.

 

FOOD AND BEVERAGE: US$680,000

 

Head chef Mark Flanagan probably won't be serving ortolans on the big day, but there will be no shortage of classy hors d'œuvre and desserts, including a much-anticipated lemon elderflower cake.

With 600 guests attending both the lunch and dinner receptions, plus 2,640 guests from the public who will be provided with tea and a hot snack on the grounds of Windsor Castle, Dunne expects the food and beverage to amount to a quarter of the total budget.

GLASS MARQUEE: US$400,000

While the prince and soon-to-be duchess don't have to pay to rent out St. George's Chapel or the Great Hall, there are rumours that the royals are building a glass marquee for the reception. The construction and delivery could cost as much as US$400,000, according to Dunne.

DRESS: US$270,000

The latest front-runner in the question of what Markle will wear on Saturday is a dress from Ralph & Russo, London haute couture designers which have previously prepared outfits for stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Beyonce. Ralph & Russo supplied Markle with the dress she wore during her official engagement photo shoot.

FLOWERS: US$130,000

Given the size and scale of the wedding, hiring a team of florists to decorate Windsor Castle will be costly. "It will be tasteful. I don't think it's going to be overly kind of glam and wasteful in terms of what they spend," says Dunne, "but even in that case ... they could easily spend £100,000 (S$181,233) on flowers."

Gobsmacked!

 

What a waste of money.....

UK - a country with a Minister of Homelessness.

79,000: the number of homeless households living in temporary housing.

I think it is paid by Royal estate.

 

Royal estate also from the people over the years. No different.
