The wedding cost the British taxpayers an estimate of $2.6 million, and they are not happy. Hasan Patel said on Twitter:

“Princess Eugenie is getting married today. I hope she has a nice time knowing that millions of pounds of taxpayers money are being used for her special day while school children go hungry and rough sleepers are dying on the streets.”
