The Queen might have thought the display was “horrid” but the amount of ca$$$h it raked in was anything but!
Kate Middleton‘s Sarah Burton-designed Alexander McQueen wedding dress brought in more than $15.5 MILLION last summer.
Dayum!
The now iconic dress was on display for 73 days at Buckingham Palace and was seen by a total of 626,678 people, a figure Royal Collection director Jonathan Marsden called “unprecedented”.
Visitors also got to drool over the Robinson Pelham diamond earrings from Catherine├óΓé¼Γäós mummy and daddy, the Queen’s borrowed Cartier “Halo” tiara, Kate’s handmade silk shoes, and a replica of the royal wedding cake.
Maybe some of this money can help foot the Duchess’s current wardrobe bill.
