Princess Eugenie's Royal Wedding Won't Cost as Much as Meghan Markle's
2018's second royal wedding is fast approaching with Princess Eugenie set to marry Jack Brooksbank on October 12. While wedding preparations are most certainly underway, one aspect of the event that's the subject of much speculation is just how much Princess Eugenie's royal wedding is going to cost.
It was previously reported by The Mirror, back in August 2018, that the security bill alone for Eugenie's wedding to Brooksbank would be costing the tax payer £2 million (which is approximately $2.5 million). However, recent estimates are placing the cost of the day at a much higher figure, thanks to items such as Princess Eugenie's wedding gown, and the multiple receptions the family will throw.
The founder of Bridebook, Hamish Shephard, helped estimate the potential costs of Princess Eugenie's royal wedding for the Daily Mail, and the initial $2.5 million figure has already skyrocketed. Shephard thinks a more realistic cost for the nuptials is around £2,684,020, which comes in at approximately $3.5 million. The Bridebook founder's figures include costs such as £100,000 ($130,000) for catering, another £100,000 ($130,000) for flowers, and a whopping £200,000 ($260,000) for a custom made wedding dress, with Shephard predicting that Stella McCartney could be designing the gown.
Clearly, the price tag of Princess Eugenie's wedding pales in comparison to the cost of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, which is estimated to have been around $45 million. But despite the tally coming in that much cheaper than her cousin's wedding, Princess Eugenie's big day is sure to be a lavish and memorable affair.
