On the 19th of May 2018, Meghan Markle married Prince Harry. Everyone’s attention was on the typical wedding must knows such as the dress, flowers, cake, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, would Meghan’s dad make an appearance? However, one thing that was evident was that the security was prominent throughout the entire wedding. The Royal family wanted to ensure the safety of everyone involved, including the public who attended Windsor Castle to watch the wedding unfold.

It is said £30m was spent on security for the big day, armed officers were seen walking the streets holding an array of firearms. The officers were told to ‘do whatever is necessary’, including shoot to kill, in order for no danger to come to anyone at Windsor Castle. As well as armed police there were undercover officers and security barriers installed to ensure safety of the guests. The security measures were executed by Thames Valley Police, with the wedding’s security being their biggest operation… ever.

The cost of security was higher than at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding day, with an estimated cost of £20m. The price was said to be so high due to the current terror threat which the UK is facing. It is said officers were prepared for anything, having every possible disruption planned for- from a small protesters group to a life-threatening terrorist attack.
