How Much The Wedding Costed
Both royal weddings cost significantly more than the average wedding for a commoner. As the weddings of the British royal family have become a part of history, every detail of the event is meticulously attended to. The incredible guest list alone will cause attendance to soar. The wedding of Prince William and Kate in 2011 drew 2,500 guests and cost $34 million. According to reports, the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018 had fewer guests (600) but cost $55 million.
Chelsy Davy’s Attire On Both Royal Weddings
Before Meghan Markle, Prince Harry had a seven-year on-again, off-again relationship with Chelsy Davy, a Zimbabwean businesswoman. Chelsy was invited to both Prince William and Prince Harry’s weddings during their relationship, which lasted from 2004 to 2011. Harry and Chelsy had just broken up at the time of Prince William’s wedding. According to Parade magazine, the magnitude of the event drove a wedge between Harry and Chelsy, who realized royal life wasn’t for her. She was not invited to the evening reception hosted by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
