Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding racked up over $42.8 Million.

However according to reports, majority the money wasn’t spent on ornate flowers, classy hors d’œuvres or entertainment however it went towards keeping the betrothed, their guests and the thousands of onlookers safe.

According to U.K. wedding site Bridebook, the cost of security, including snipers, undercover police and a counter-UAV system, will be about $40.1 million, or 94 percent of the total wedding budget.

Meanwhile, food and beverage, the dress, flowers and a glass marquee for the reception cost an estimated $2.7 million.

The royal family will pay for the “core aspects of the wedding,” which include the “church service, the associated music, flowers, decorations and the reception afterwards.” While Meghan Markle will pay for her six-figure wedding dress herself.

However the whopping security costs will be paid for largely by taxpayers.
