JK, that's a picture of her at the Royal Ascot, but still, let's assume Eugenie's pumped. Honestly, she better be considering security for the wedding is costing English taxpayers millions of pounds. Two million pounds to be exact, which will be put to good use keeping Eugenie safe. But um...people aren't thrilled.

According to The Daily Mail, Eugenie's wedding was initially estimated to cost taxpayers "just" £750,000, but sources say Prince Andrew wanted the whole thing to be a lot more expensive.

 

Meanwhile, British politicians are also upset. Labour MP Emma Dent Coad tells Daily Mirror, "In these times of heightened security risks it is irresponsible for a minor member of the royal family to have a high profile, very public wedding. This may be the time to review the role and cost of minor royals."

Another Labour MP named Chris Williamson says, "It really is an outrage when you've got people sleeping rough and gripped by poverty that people are indulging in this conspicuous consumption. No one else gets their wedding paid for by the public purse and they've got the resources to do it themselves."

To be clear, the actual wedding is being paid for privately. But still. That's a lot of taxpayer money.
