There is much hype already over just what will happen on April 29th, what will the money be spent on, what will happen at the wedding, and how Kate will fare amongst all the Royals after the big day. We take a little look into what will happen and just how much it cost, plus where that money came from.

How Much Will the Royal Wedding Cost? The Wedding Royal Wedding is expected to cost upwards of $100,000,000 according to one source, just how close this is is unknown yet as we approach the final days before the nuptials. It is expected to surpass that of Prince Charles & Princess Diana’s wedding, almost double taking into account that was 30 years ago. Part of the reason this wedding is expected to be more popular and more widely watched is because of Kate’s background. The general public has been taken by this story of ‘everyday’ Kate being swept off her feet by a Prince, and the tabloids have followed. We can expect a lavish affair and a celebration fit for a King, even if there is a recession on. This should deter the Royal patrons who won’t hold any expense too steep. Kate’s Parents are on the list of people expected to pick up a share of the tab, with Charles stumping up a large chunk. Alternatively the Queen may cover the cost with a large chunk coming from the annual government funding allowed to the Royal Family to cover such events as Wedding Ceremonies and functions as well as salaries. This figure is roughly $12,000,000 so could cover a fair amount, but the total is most likely to come from all parties in a fair ratio.

So what now for the.Royal Wedding Lady In Waiting? Kate is expected to ease into royal life seamlessly and, like other Royal women, perform duties and public service. She is expected to do this quite effortlessly if her past performances are anything to go by. Her slender looks and elegant style has already won plaudits and have the high street chains flocking to stock her replica clothes. Famously, not long ago, she wore a Burberry coat that promptly sold out the following day. Just a measure of how popular she has become.

So answer the question How Much Will the royal wedding cost? A fair guesstimate is to say it will cost all parties an arm and a leg, with the only people better off the wedding planners and royal wedding memorabilia Sellers.
