I’m still scratching my head as to why we still have monarchies in the 21st Century.

How much did the Swedish taxpayers pony up for this shindig?

“How much did the Swedish taxpayers pony up for this shindig?”

The taxpayers put in some 10-14 M Swedish kronor, which mostly covered security and such issues.

The taxpayers received at least some 500 M Swedish kronor due to taxes on extra goods and services generated by the wedding. The monarchy is a great source of income to the average taxpayer, not that the leftist media usually portrays it that way...
