So Who Paid for the Royal Wedding Security?: Did the US Invest in Counter Terrorism Efforts?
The cost of the Royal Wedding probably spread across the pond. Obviously, considering the war on global terrorism, the English worked with the United States to ensure the event was unscathed by threats from Al Qaeda. As well, there is the normal security that must be met for an event like this, despite these people really are more figure heads of a tired worn out idea.
So how much will the Royal Wedding cost taxpayers in England? Estimates are an astonishing $163 million dollars. Considering the need to consider terrorist threats, I think Americans should know if we are getting any of that bill thanks to the possible involvement of Homeland Security, the FBI, or the CIA working with British officials.
The above video claims Kate Middleton's family is splitting part of the cost with the Royals of Windsor, but where to the Royals of Windsor get their money from? Isn't royalty subsidized these days in England.
Estimates of the failed marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Dianna were at about $49 million. That's a lot of money considering the tragedy of the marriage, especially if you believe the rumors the Royals of Windsor were behind the Mercedes crashing in the tunnel in Paris known Princess Dianna was preparing to marry a Muslim.
We will probably never know what the exact cost of this wedding was and how much of US money went to aid with security. I think if the United States provided any investment in counter terrorism, the Brits should be footing the bill.
