This costs the wedding of Meghan and Harry

And it's not bad

Tomorrow it happens. Goodness, how jittery we are. The dress. The kiss. The giving away. The absence of dad. The Queen. Camilla. It feels like the last episode of the soap season where all the main characters come together. But what does that little joke cost? Well, I've looked into it thoroughly for you.

The cake 180,000

Yes, I'll start with that, because I believe that's the most expensive in proportion. It costs 180,000 dollars. Then you get the most beautiful lemon elderflower cake with a buttercream topping and edible flowers from Claire Ptak, the most famous baker from California.

Champagne 200,000

The British royal family drinks champagne from Bollinger, so that's been richly stocked. Considering the consumption pattern of the guests, two hundred thousand worth of champagne will be consumed here.

Flowers 157,000

The decoration of the chapel, the bouquets of the bridesmaids, and of course Meghan's own bouquet. What I can already reveal is that the peony flower (I didn't know that until today, but that's beside the point) plays an important role in the palette.

The invitations 290,000

They are of course not just churned out by Louis Kopie. Meghan and Harry chose Barnard & Westwood for their handmade paper. The coat of arms of le petit prince Harry is embossed in gold on the invite.

Production 186,000

Photographer 24,000

Toilets 50,000

Honeymoon 172,000

But Meghan would pay for that herself as a gift to her new husband. Meghan, we like you. Then everything is probably spent, but it makes a difference, you now belong to one of the richest families in the world. As they say here in the Jordaan: your kossie is bought. By the way, they are going here, did you know that?

Security

Are you sitting? But really firmly? That will cost a tidy 35 million.

And I haven't even talked about the dress yet. But I hope Meghan gets that offered by the designer of the day. I mean: just look at the publicity value that stands against it.

The total comes to... drumroll... 36 million 259 thousand dollars.
