Hey there! Let’s dive into the buzz surrounding Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s royal wedding. While Eugenie is absolutely thrilled about tying the knot in October, not everyone in Britain shares her excitement. Why? Well, it all comes down to the staggering price tag attached to this royal event. According to Cosmopolitan, British taxpayers are expected to foot a bill of about $2.5 million for this lavish affair. That’s right—$2.5 million!
Many British citizens are scratching their heads over this hefty expenditure. One person took to Twitter to voice their frustration, saying, “She has no public duties, her dad’s raking it in, and we pay [$2.5 million] for her ‘royal’ wedding? This is one of the richest families in the UK, which lives off the state. Grow up, royalists. See the light, stop hanging on to childhood fairytales.” This tweet struck a chord, quickly racking up over 1,000 likes. Clearly, the public has strong feelings about this extravagant celebration.

Another individual chimed in with a similar sentiment, saying, “Theresa May’s money tree has had another shake. [$2.5 million] of our money going [to] security for Eugenie’s wedding. Who is Eugenie you may ask… the daughter of Air Mile Andy and Freebie Fergie. So tighten your belts and move along folk. Bread and water and food banks for you.”
Eugenie's Mom is All-In on Wedding Planning
Ever since Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter got engaged back in January, Eugenie’s mom, Sarah Ferguson, has been fully immersed in the wedding planning process. Eugenie and Jack have already extended invitations to 1,200 members of the public for their big day. Plus, they’re expected to host a celebrity guest list that could give Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s May wedding a run for its money.
The Daily Mail recently reported that Eugenie’s wedding was initially projected to cost taxpayers around $950,000. However, Prince Andrew, Eugenie’s father, wanted nothing but the best for his daughter. As a result, the event’s cost has now soared to a whopping $2.5 million.
