London: With their daughter set to marry Prince William, parents of Kate Middleton will be spending about 100,000 pounds to pay for expenses like bridal gowns and hotel suites bills.According to a report in 'The Sunday Times', Carole and Michael Middleton, mother and father of Kate will also contribute to the cost of an evening reception and disco hosted by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace, apart from paying bills for hotel suites, bridal gowns, bridemaids dresses, the maid of honour's outfit and the honeymoon.Kate's parents have made millions from their mail order party business.They will pay for several suites at the Goring hotel in Belgravia including 4,000 pounds-a-night two-bedroom, five-room suite for Kate and her sister Pippa, the maid of honour.One-room Belgravia suites costing 1,140 pounds each including Vat will be taken for Carole and Michael, their son James, Kate's brother, plus a number of other close relatives and friends.The Goring is not far from Buckingham Palace.The hotel bill alone is expected to touch 20,000 pounds, including dinner, breakfast and drinks.Other expenses include 30,000 pounds for Kate's bridal gowns and 20,000 pounds for Pippa's dress.Prince Charles will cover most of the other costs and the Queen will host the lunchtime reception.The cost of Prince Charles' wedding to Lady Diana in 1981 was estimated to have been 30 million pounds, but most of the security costs were picked up by the taxpayer.Even Charles's modest wedding to his second wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, may have cost 5 million pounds.An official spokesman for Prince Charles said, "The Middletons have offered to contribute to the cost of the wedding. How much they contribute is a private matter".
