Both families are paying for the wedding.

The actual expenditure for any aspect of the wedding will never be made public. But aides are keen to stress the total bill won’t be millions of dollars, but rather a six-figure sum – as it was back in 1981 when Charles and Diana married. This undisclosed bill will be for the dress, the bridesmaids’ outfits, the flowers, and the two receptions.

HOW THE COSTS WILL BE DIVIDED BETWEEN THE FAMILIES

She’s the matriarch, the grandmother, and the woman who is going to have to dig deepest into her pocket. The Queen will pay for much of the wedding.

Her son, Prince Charles, is paying for the dinner and dance in the evening.

And Kate Middleton’s parents, Carole and Mike, will make a contribution.

As with most events in the U.S., the taxpayers pay for the security.
