According to the Mirror, \u00a32 million is set to be spent on security alone, amid fears that the wedding of the Queen\u2019s granddaughter, Princess Eugenie Victoria Helena, to Jack Brooksbank could be targeted by terrorists.<\/p>\n
Extra armed-police will be on hand to oversee the wedding on October 12. Brooksbank works as a brand ambassador for George Clooney\u2019s Casamigos tequila brand while Princess Eugenie is ninth in line to the throne despite having no royal duties. The couple are set to marry in the St George\u2019s hall in Windsor castle, the same venue where Prince Harry and Markle married in May.<\/p>\n

Eugenie\u2019s father, Prince Andrew has reportedly demanded a wedding on the scale of his nephew Harry\u2019s big day. A royal source told the Mirror: \u201cThe Duke of York has insisted his daughter\u2019s wedding must be a huge occasion to be remembered and wants everyone to get on board to celebrate the happy couple.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The bloated security budget is largely due to the couple\u2019s wish to ride an open-top carriage through the streets of Windsor. Scores of police officers will now have to be deployed along the route.<\/p>\n Emma Dent Coad, Labour MP for Kensington \u2013 where Eugenie and Jack live \u2013 told the paper: \u201cIn these times of heightened security risks, it\u2019s irresponsible for a minor member of the royal family to have a high-profile, very public wedding. This may be the time to review the role and cost of minor royals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Speaking to the paper, Chris Williamson, Labour MP for Derby North, said: \u201cIt really is an outrage when you\u2019ve got people sleeping rough and gripped by poverty that people are indulging in this conspicuous consumption.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThey are as far as it\u2019s possible to be from being real, normal people. No-one else gets their wedding paid for by the public purse and they\u2019ve got the resources to do it themselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Police reportedly know of no threats or any planned republican protests.<\/p>\n Like this story?
