Talk about a royal flush.

Meghan Markle’s lawful workforce is saying that her wedding day to Prince Harry brought in £1 billion in tourism revenue, considerably off-location the documented £32 million price tag of the affair.

The Everyday Mail studies that the new figures came in as portion of the most new filings in the 38-year-previous Markle’s circumstance against the Mail on Sunday. They recommend that Uk taxpayers footed the extensive majority — £30 million — of the shindig’s overall cost, most of which went to protection, with the church provider, bouquets and reception paid out for by the Royal Family.

In the meantime, her legal professionals contend that the nuptials were “not, in actuality, publicly funded, but rather individually financed by HRH The Prince of Wales” (Harry’s father, Prince Charles). “Any community expenditures incurred for the marriage ceremony ended up exclusively for safety and crowd control to guard associates of the general public,” they add, “as deemed vital by Thames Valley Police and the Metropolitan Police.”

The Mail’s dissenting feeling arrives from a consulting firm, Model Finance, who estimate that the overall shot in the arm to British isles tourism provided by the wedding ceremony was a scant £300 million and that the billion-pound valuation will take into account other, tangential economic things these as retail and style.
