Madeleine's wedding cost around six million. Carl Philip's and Sofia's wedding is expected to cost the same.
- It can be at the same level, says the royal family's finance manager, the director of the privy purse Jan Lindman.
When Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel were married in June 2010 the wedding cost around 20 million.
- Royal wedding is very much about the status. Therefore, he is not outdo Victoria's wedding, but it will of course not be less than Madeleine's and we know that hers cost a bit over six million, said Aftonbladet's royal expert Jenny Alexandersson.
Jan Lindman of the court doesn't talk about numbers, but confirms that they don't talk about 20 million.
- Is was the heir to the throne, the wedding was in a different dignity level than this. It might be on the same level as the wedding of Madeleine and Chris, but it is too early to tell.
The private area, which at both Victoria and Madeleine's wedding should have been more than half of the total bill, pays the king.
- In the previous two weddings there has been a party the night before the wedding to the couple's friends and perhaps some peers fom foreign royalty. It's typically private. All arrangements around the church in the form of flowers, security and transport are a typical official costs paid by the royal household.
Carl Philip and Sofia have invited 400 guests according to Aftonbladet. The dinner is the one which makes big costs, but because everything happens at the Royal Palace, some money will be saved in the transports.
