9 of the most expensive royal wedding dresses, ranked

  • Princess Diana's wedding dress would have cost over $490,000 in today's money.
  • Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen wedding dress cost an estimated $332,000.
  • Princess Beatrice borrowed a dress from the Queen for her wedding, making hers the least expensive.

Royal weddings are known for sparing no expense.

Prince Charles and Princess Diana's "wedding of the century" would cost $110 million in today's money. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle served a $71,600 lemon elderflower cake at their reception. And for Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day, security alone cost the couple an estimated $33 million dollars.

Many royal wedding dresses also come with six-figure price tags, taking designers months to create. Even dresses that appear to have relatively modest price tags - such as the Queen's $42,000 dress in 1947 - would be much more expensive today when adjusted for inflation.

Here are nine of the priciest wedding dresses royals have worn, from the least expensive to the most expensive.
