Watching coverage of the royal wedding, and by coverage I mean the actual wedding, I saw that Prince Charles dipped into his own personal wealth to come up with the $30 million that the royal wedding cost. Now if/when I get married I think that is the only way to go.
Westminster Abby (with live trees inside), Rolls Royce to and from the church, celebrity guests with crazy hats...that's the only way to go.
But, if you don't want to spend that cash on a wedding I thought, "What else could Charles have gotten for his money?" Most of the prices were found over at a fun little site called: most-expensive.net check em out....so here's what I came up with for Charles (keep in mind Charles you have the spare to marry off too!)
12 Bugatti Veyron Super Sports -- With a price tag $2,500,000 each Charles could have taken possession of 12 of 40 planned Super Sports for this year. He could have used them to bribe the Queen to abdicate the throne...let's face it at like 86 she's still going strong. I think her plan is just just make sure she out lives Prince Phillip!
2 sets of Red Hot Fantasy Bra and Panties -- Courtesy of Victoria's Secret, this set of delicates contains 1,300 precious stones (including 300 carats of Thai rubies). Think of how smashing Camilla would look in this and maybe a set for the Queen. On second thought...strike that, reverse it...never think of that ever again! Clocking in at a cool $15 million each, Charles would have nothing left over for himself...poor royal!
4 Stuart Hughes iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Editions -- It's the blings, bling of cell phones. You take your typical $400 iPhone and hunt down you jeweler quality bedazzler to tack on diamonds...diamonds...and more diamonds including a 7.4 carat pink diamond for the home button. You also get a solid granite box and a 8 carat diamond to replace the pink one. I would imagine that's for the days you don't feel very rosy...or maybe for when you drop it in the toilet and the pink one is lost!
Fish and Chips -- If spent wisely on a fish and chips meal on a Tuesday through Friday, from noon till four, at The Fish Club, 189 Saint John's Hill, London ( 020 7978 7115). Charles could have treated approximately 2,564,760 people to an afternoon meal. Not to shabby...granted I wouldn't want to be there when they ran out of tartar sauce!
Whiskey -- Lots and lots of whisky!! If Charles is a drinker, and let's face it he probably is (I would be). He can drop that cash on a Bottle of Macallan Fine and Rare Collection 1926 (60year old). To be more precise he could pick up 789 bottles of what Forbes describes as, "The oldest and most sought-after of Macallan's revolutionary Fine & Rare Collection." Sadly, it's sold out... so those 789 bottles will not be avail. I guess he could always change it into about 715,000 bottles of something in the $40 a bottle family!
