Friday’s royal nuptials may cost taxpayers £2million — after Harry and Meghan’s estimated £4million bill.
Figures are said to have rocketed after both couples opted for a carriage ride through the streets before ceremonies at Windsor Castle.
But it emerged Eugenie, 28, and Jack Brooksbank, 32, could have slashed the bill by marrying at the nearby Royal Chapel of All Saints, opposite her childhood home Royal Lodge.
The couple are holding their evening reception at the venue, where Prince Andrew still lives.
A source said: “The security would be simple and cheap because it’s not open to the public. Harry and Meghan’s wedding was very different. It generated a huge amount of money for the economy.
“But is there a need for Eugenie to have an open-top carriage ride through the high street when she could have the whole shebang in her garden?”
Thames Valley Police is to ask the Home Office for more money to pay for Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May. The force said yesterday the cost has “not yet been finalised”.
