A royal affair

Letter May 21, 2018
The new Duchess of Sussex is said to have borne the cost of the dress she wore

LAHORE: The royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is said to cost $450 million. Half of this amount is said to be paid by the royal family while the new Duchess of Sussex is said to have borne the cost of the dress she wore. However, it is very likely that the cost of the whole wedding is way more than what is being quoted and while the royal family would have borne some of the cost the rest of it would have been paid by the UK’s taxpayers.
