Princess Lilibet's fifth birthday sparks new royal spending debate, here's how it affects your wallet.
As the fifth birthday of Princess Lilibet approaches, the little royals have already cost taxpayers millions in security and travel, and insiders predict the celebration will only add to the tab. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have moved away from royal duties, their U.S. lifestyle—from private jets to luxury gifts—continues a trend that could hit your pocket when you renew your insurance or pay taxes. Critics argue these high-profile costs are baked into the price of goods and services, meaning that ostentatious event may be subtly raising your monthly bills.
