The British politician behind these numbers is openly critical of the royal family though, so...

feel fair, but it's a significant part of Baker's calculations so

we'll include it. He estimates that Harry and Meghan's staff cost about £592,000 to employ during their two years as working royals. Of course, since Harry and Meghan wereand needed a staff to support that work , it doesn't seem fair to hold this figure against them. According to Baker, some of the top-earning members of the Sussexes' royal staff included a private secretary as well as an assistant private secretary, a communications secretary, and an assistant communications secretary .It's no secret that security is one of the most expensive parts of the royal family's budget, and Harry and Meghan were no exception to this rule.

Baker estimates that the Sussexes' security costs from Frogmore Cottage probably cost about £4.5 million, while their other security costs during their two years as working royals likely totaled around £2.5 million. He describes these figures as a"conservative estimate" of what it probably cost to keep the couple safe.

Baker estimates the total cost of the affair to be £33.5 million , including £30 million for security at the event, £90,000 for new silver trumpets, and £390,000 for Meghan's wedding gown. He claims the royals only contribute £2 million to the costs, meaning the taxpayers picked up about 94 percent of the tab.Loss of tax income from money Prince Charles spent on the Sussexes' expenses: £1.
