@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

Good question...
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...

@milkymum1 but don't these visitors purchase good & services on which there are taxes? Wouldn't those benefit more than just locals?
and some of the goods are British-made (like royal Doulton[sp?])...and the services are British-provided...so doesn't that help keep ppl working...?

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

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

I think tourists end up paying.

@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
