Top 10 Lavish Modern Royal Weddings

Royal weddings are the epitome of opulence and exorbitance. While most modern “Royals” are practically just tourist attractions and paparazzi fodder, they still know how to throw a party for the green-eyed commoner.  Here we list 10 of the most lavish modern royal wedding extravaganzas.

1. Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum of Dubai & Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum (1979)

The king of Dubai’s wedding was more of a national festival than a nuptial. A 20,000 seater stadium was purpose built for the ceremony which featured displays of horse and camel riding and an aerobatics display by the Dubai Air Force. The total cost, when adjusted for inflation, is estimated to be around $100 million. You have to trust the Emiratis to overdo it.

2. Prince Charles of United Kingdom and Diana Spencer (1981)

Perhaps the wedding of the generation, this captivating ceremony was broadcasted live to an audience of 750 million people. Diana’s infamous wedding gown featured a 25 foot train, 8 meter long veil and a $15000 bill. The entire show cost around $50 million.

3. Prince Felipe of Spain and Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano (2004)

A wedding that will sadly be remembered for things other than the wedding itself. Crown Prince Felipe’s choice was an award winning news reporter and divorcee who he met when she was covering the sinking of the Prestige oil tanker in 2002. The wedding was held at the Cathedral Nuestra Senora de la Almudena in Madrid, which witnessed a massive one million flower plantation campaign and other excessive decorative sieges. The event was secured by 18,000 policemen and soldiers, since 191 people had been killed by subway bombings in the city only two months ago. This huge security effort pumped the cost of the wedding up to a staggering $29 million. Other highlights included an uninvited retired Colonel managing to sneak in with a gun and a royal Italian fistfight between Prince Vittorio Emanuele and Duke Amedeo.

4. Prince Rainier of Monaco and Grace Kelly (1956)

The Monacoan prince, who once dumped a girlfriend because she was infertile, was perhaps the most eligible bachelor of his time. He met the Hollywood icon in Cannes and the ball was soon rolling. The real cost of the wedding has been never ascertained but is estimated to be in tens of millions of dollars. Prince Rainer’s father demanded a $2 million dowry and the bride’s father Jack Kelly paid half of that. The prince gifted his bride a 147-foot yacht called “Deo Juvante II” and the couple spent their honeymoon on the same boat, with Kelly being frequently seasick.

5. King Mohammed VI and Lalla Salma Bennani (2002)

This wedding was significant not only for the massive bill but also for being a rather ‘modern’ affair. The King met the 24 year old computer engineer at a party and the couple were soon engaged. In breaking with tradition, the engagement was announced on television and the bride was actually shown with the King, a far cry from the secretive wives and harems Mohammad’s father had kept. Their wedding encompassed a tradition royal function, in which the bride was kept completely covered, and a massive public celebration in Rabat, attended by dignitaries such as Bill and Chelsea Clinton. The entire festival is thought to have cost tens of millions of dollars.

6. Prince Pavlos of Greece and Denmark and Marie-Chantal Miller (1995)

The Greek crown prince-in-exile and prince of Denmark, Prince Pavlos’s wedding to the American heiress saw the biggest gathering of royalty since Queen Elizabeth’s wedding to Prince Philip in 1947. The event was organized by Lady Elizabeth Anson, Queen Elizabeth’s cousin who chose the iconic St. Sophia’s Cathedral in London as the venue. The equally ornate reception by Miller, who reportedly carried a $130 million dowry, cost $8 million. Not everyone was happy though and the wedding was billed as “provocative” by the Greek socialist government.
7. Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah of Brunei and Sarah Saleh (2004)

The Brunei royalty is well known for flaunting its wealth and royal weddings are certainly no exception. The 30 year old crown Prince Billah’s traditional Malay wedding to the 17 year old commoner Saleh was held at the 1788 room royal palace and was laced with the usual gems and gold. The highlights included a 15 minute fireworks display viewed by over 20,000 spectators, a 5 mile 100 limousine royal parade and a $5 million price tag. However, even all this might have been upstaged by Princess Hajah Bulqiah’s wedding 3 years later.

8. Princess Victoria of Sweden and Daniel Westling (2010)

When Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden announced her intention to marry her personal trainer Daniel Westling, her father King Carl XVI Gustaf was reportedly “shocked”. The sheer opulence of the wedding has been compared with that of Charles and Diana’s nuptials and cost more than $3 million. The ceremony took place in Stockholm Cathedral in front of 15 kings and queens (and Tiger Wood’s mother-in-law) while 250,000 people lined the streets. The event did raise a furor in equality-minded Sweden with 57,000 people joining a Facebook group to protest against the public expense and the King’s public approval ratings plummeting. Rumor has it that the King had advised the Princess to “have a go” at Prince Andrew.

9. Prince Phillipe of Belgium and Countess Mathilde d’Udekem d’Acoz (1999)

Prince Phillipe’s wedding to the aristrocratic speech therapist was unusual for taking place in the cold winter months. This however did nothing to cool down the expenditures and the ceremony went ahead with the usual royal flair. The guests included Japan’s Crown Prince Naruhito and Prince Charles. The princess’s wedding gown, designed by Edouard Vermeulen, has been hailed as one of the most stylish royal wedding dresses of the last century. Decorations for the cathedral, where the ceremony was held, alone cost $250,000. Interestingly, Princess Mathilde is the first Belgian-born royal consort in the Monarchy’s history.

10. Prince Haakon Magnus of Norway and Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby (2001)

These days, any wedding taking place in Oslo is going to be an expensive affair, let alone a highly talked about royal wedding. Prince Haakon’s wedding plans kicked up quite a storm in Norway due to the fact the Mette-Marit was a single mother who had been quite a raver in her time and the father of her child had a history of drug related offences. The lavish ceremony went ahead without any glitches though and had distinguished royalty from all over Europe in attendance

11 Things You Won't Believe Governments Have Banned

Australia: Porn Featuring Small Breasts
Are you an adult woman in Australia with a cup breasts? According to Australia, you don't exist. Do you happen to be a man who likes to watch adult films starring small-breasted women? According to the Australian government, you secretly love child porn. If none of this makes sense to you, then you must not work for the Australian Classification Board who has banned multiple adult films from distribution because, in their opinion, the actress' smaller breasts made them appear to be under 18.

While the law doesn't outright ban porn featuring small breasts, the ABC has the right to ban all adult films that depict a woman as being under 18. While this idea sounds fine in theory, the group has actively rejected some films based solely on the breast size of the actresses involved.  

China: Game Consoles
Most game consoles are made in China and Chinese prisoners are often forced to play World of Warcraft so the government can collect their loot and sell it to other players, which is why it seems so utterly bizarre that China doesn't allow the sale of gaming consoles. The ban took place back in 2000, when the government expressed its concern that the country's youth would waste their time playing games instead of working. Even so, gamers are still permitted to buy non-console games, making the ban notably ineffective –which is probably why it is not extensively enforced. 

Greece: Video Games

China's not the only country to ban video games. Greece did too, although for a much different reason. In 2002, the government tried to crack down on electric gambling machines, but their legislators wrote the law so broadly that it managed to cover all forms of electronic gaming machines –meaning all video games. Amazingly, someone was even caught and arrested for violating the poorly written law by playing an MMO in an internet café. They were actually forced to serve time in prison for playing games.
Fortunately, after receiving pressure from the EU and video gamers everywhere, the law was found to be unconstitutional by the end of the year. 

China: Avatar in 2D

While the army in Avatar is undoubtedly American, the idea of people siding with an indigenous population against an imperialistic force is something that China was not comfortable with. That's why shortly after the release of the movie in China, the authorities decided the movie could only be shown in 3D. Since there are very few 3D theaters in China, the move was effectively a ban on the film 

Russia: Emo Clothing

Plenty of people don't like emo fashion, but while it's not that weird for a parent to tell their kids they can't wear that crap outside the house, it's entirely different when the whole government takes such a drastic stand. When the Russian government was trying to stop high suicide rates amongst teens though, they decided emo fashion were to blame.
The government went so far as to dub the style “a threat to national stability” before banning people from wearing emo clothing to public schools or government buildings. Don't worry sullen teens of Russia, you can still listen to all the forlorn emo music you want, you just can't dress like you listen to it. 

China: Reincarnation Without Prior Consent

On the face of it, the idea of banning someone from reincarnating without obtaining the state's permission is preposterous and something they absolutely can't control. In reality though, the measure is their way to trying to take control of the Tibetan Buddhists (including the Dali Lama himself) by trying to rule over one of their most sacred beliefs. 
Iran: “Western” Hair Cuts

Like many Middle Eastern governments, Iran hates the impending spread of decadent Western culture. In order to better protect their people from the depraved culture of Europe and North America, the government of Iran has banned all hair cuts that are not included in their list of government-approved styles. Banned styles include mullets, ponytails and spikes. Barber shops that fail to follow the law can be shut down and penalized in the years since the law took effect.
Saudi Arabia: Valentine's Day

Similarly, Saudi Arabia finds Valentine's Day to be in violation of Muslim beliefs. In order to ensure residents don't secretly send gifts to their Valentine's, the government orders all florists and gift shops to remove anything red or otherwise considered to be a symbol of romance prior to the holiday. Apparently the ban on the holiday isn't entirely successful and the country now has a thriving Valentine's Day black market where lovers can buy red roses and other tokens of romance at around six times their ordinary prices.
Denmark: Ovaltine and Marmite

In America, it's practically impossible to purchase milk that isn't fortified with vitamin D, but in Denmark, this would be completely illegal. That's because the country has put a ban on all fortified foods, effectively banning fortified breakfast cereals, Ovaltine and Marmite.

Update: According to the Denmark Embassy in England, it's not illegal to sell or possess Marmite, just to advertise it.

Denmark: Most Baby Names

Fortified snacks aren't the only thing Denmark wants to put an end to. The country also has some of the strictest child naming guidelines in the entire world. In fact, citizens of the country can only select names on a list approved by the government or they must seek permission from the government for an exception to the rule. Right now, the officially approved names list contains only around 7,000 names –about 3,000 for boys and 4,000 for girls. 
China: Jasmine

After the “Jasmine Revolutions” in Tunisia, Chinese protestors were inspired to spark their own revolution. As a result, authorities cracked down not only on the rebels, but on the flower itself. The plant is now banned in the country, as are songs about the flower and text messages including the word “jasmine.”

The daredevil teen hits speeds of up to 45mph on the vertical 20ft high wall as she rides horizontally around the 32ft wide cylinder.
