Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's Royal Wedding To Cost 32 Million Pounds?
The Royal wedding of thirty-three-old Prince Harry with Meghan Markle, 36, a star of the TV drama Suits, will take place in Windsor Castle's 15th-century St George's Chapel at a ceremony set to commence at 4.30 pm on Saturday. The details of her dress, the ring and the order of service have yet to be announced, reported Thomson Reuters on Friday. Prince Harry, who is a former army officer, met his bride-to-be on a blind date in July 2016 after being set up through a mutual friend. Markle said she knew little about her royal date while Harry said he had never heard of Markle or watched her TV series.
However, it was love at first sight, and after just two dates, he whisked her off to Botswana for a holiday, camping under the stars. While in the UK, average couple spends £17,913 on the wedding day, Harry and Meghan are set to spend nearly £32 million, reported BBC. The cost, as released by Bridebook.co.uk, doesn't include security and honeymoon. The wedding will take place at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Meghan Markle's father Thomas Markle wouldn't be able to attend the wedding.

7. Security: It's separate from the wedding cost. A whopping 30 million pounds was spent for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. This wedding, however, will not happen in Central London. But the security is likely to be tight because of the number of members of the public attending this Royal Wedding. (With Reuters inputs)
