It seems that there should have been a big income boost to the UK for this (travel/lodging/food/transportation, gifts/commemorative stuff, more tourists to sites, fees for access to BBC feeds or other tv/radio income)...
Seems to me that the royals should front the cost and get reimbursed from the income streams they created, with the excess going to the British Treasury...
@Thingschange4444 they should be ashamed of themselves,spending millions on a wedding, when there is so much need for the money to be used for the greater good
@briggsie25 yes more than ashamed as thier plenty who need the money lke hospitals doctors nurses police teachers after school activiries safe houses for women and the rest but i guess the ;ajic money tree only grows for bribes and the wealthy
SW-User
everything for the wedding from the dressmaker to the jeweller to the drinks people the food farmers and the flowers and so on should be sponsored and not come from the taxpayer it can be advertising for them oh no but then again that would cheapen the event and we cannot have that lol you have to be able to brag about the amount spent
@SW-User such a good idea and also to watch the wedding should be pay to view then they would see how popular they really are becuase i dont pay my tv licence to have this shoved down my throat for the next month
@briggsie25 yes i hate how the wealthy get everything and aviode thier taxes and dont return thier tax forms at and get away with it all but when any of us do then its the opersite.
fuck i didnt know it cost that much an absolute disgrase x
@milkymum1 and all the homeless in the area are being moved on in the build up to this farce. The money it's costing should be used to find housing for them. Wouldn't hate the Royals so much if they paid their own way
it's a little of both. It's all coming from the tax payers. The Security part was the big money drain. But look at how much money that event brought into town. The hotels,the restaurants,and others places. Where making bank from all the tourist into town. It kind of paid for it's self
@milkymum1 Good point. But A lot of the people ah tending the event. fall into that group. Maybe they will pay it back in the end. Was William's event listed as a state event'
@bhatjc Yes williams was a state event so is a little differnet. As for this if its not a state event why should the state pay for it because it is in all effects a normal wedding.
@Jm31xxx It is such idotic masses who are making sure that the monarchy exists. What are they doing that the tax payer should pay for these getting married....then delivering babies in private hospitals. Why dont they go to the NHS Hospitals?
