The list of some of the Kenyans who paid Sh1 million to watch the Royal wedding between Britain's Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle at a Nairobi Hotel on Saturday has been revealed.
Nairobi's Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club charged the amount to its customers who followed the historic event live on giant screens.
Standard Group acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Orlando Lyomu and his wife Pauline, Laikipia Woman Representative Kate Waruguru and Suzie Beauty founder Suzie Wokabi were some of the prominent guests who parted with Sh1 million to follow the event at the hotel.
Others included media personality Pinky Ghelani, socialite Vera Sidika, and actress Naomi Ng'ang'a. The Sh1 million package catered for an English brunch, a dinner for two, champagne at the Windsor suite and a meal prepared by English Chef James Dennis from Soames Hotel, Nanyuki. It also included a helicopter ride to Mount Kenya for breakfast on Sunday morning.
"This is different from any other event I have ever done, and of course there was a lot of pressure involved. I came up with the menu by incorporating my English background and doing some research here and there. The meal was mostly a labour of love for me," said Chef Dennis.
Joseph and her fiancee Lilian Muchemi paid for the package, but they were on a mission, since they are planning to tie the knot soon.
"We are getting married soon and came here to get inspiration on wedding ideas. The event has been very enjoyable and the money was well worth it," they told the Standard.

I watched the Wedding for FREE because: Only a FOOL would pay that kind of Money to Watch a Royal Wedding. Easy Come Easy Go money.
Pesa ya madawa,mahindi,Petroli,CDF,NHIF,NYS,EUROBOND,Goldenburg,Anglolishing.MOH,Lamu land etc.Kwa ufupi-pesa yenu.Only a mad person would pay to watch an wedding.After all,why be un invited/an unwanted observer to it?It shows that some of us still worship these lightbrown colonialists.
And only a fool puts everyone in their small basket and expect them to behave like them. I would if I had the money I would and I'm sure they would have watched free on TV but it was the experience they went for including a copter ride for breakfast to Mt Kenya club .
And it's BECAUSE you're an INCORRIGIBLE and therefore: Irreversible FOOL.
Do you even know the meaning of INCORRIGIBLE stupid ! You are the damned fool who seem to be mad about anything and everything.Now that your baba betrayed you( Only a fool would not understand politicians are just that , yes only a dumb fool like you) , you have a new psycho behavior of insulting those who seem to have it and enjoying life. Kama maisha yako ni mbaya, stop taking it out on others fool! Now akorwo ndu na understand my incorrigible githungu, here comes - kiria uraheyaga nyendagiria mburi ino! Mic drop!
INCORRIGIBLE means UNCorrectable; not able to be Corrected; not to be Argued with. And Fools (like you) are UNCorrectable; you can't tell them a Thing. Got it?
Yes I know what it means;I think you meant you are ; lol still you are stupid and incorrigible( you cannot be improved - the more you are here the more shetani comes out of your head IphoneG) , type with caps to emphasize a point = so childish!
You guys have changed a good topic about those who paid for a million shilling royal dinner to grammar and anger competition. Not everybody can afford that kind of money and that is why Mwakilishi has it as knews. And nobody knows what the future is holding for you. Do not be angry. Probably you didn't steal not because you are holier than thou but you had no opportunity to do it.
The Dim-Wit DEVIL that Stole from Baba is in the DETAILS. And headed to Hell. Long Story; and All nonsense. No wonder your Sisters and Brothers DOMINATE (99%) the Mwakilishi.com ORBITUARIES.
Fairly cheap going by the cost of those I have attended before. Too bad - my apologies to Windsor, this time I happened to be far away outside the country....let me know the dates of the next extravaganza in time
There is something seriously wrong with us africans and kenyans for that matter, the brits would never even for free bother to watch our weddings no matter who is tying the knot. This is a country that 60 pple just perished in solai dam massacre but some have 1m to waste on such. we will always be the sleeping giants that never awakes
Any trophies why we are referred as sh*"hole countries? Slave mentality still prevails. A million whilst there is a child out there without school fees, an elderly without food? Kweli, we have gone down the gutters!
Am Afrinan but i never understand Africans
To try to Undestand an African is to Try to Understand a FOOL (a Waste of too much Time). And it's because Wengi wao HAWAJUI Mbele au Nyuma zao.
Colonial mentality in play here, surely we can't be helped. Why even use the Brit wedding to gather instead of some other kenyan-made reason? Total lack of creativity and white ass kissing. When PLO Lumumba says there are black faces who are the real sell outs of Africans, he could have very well taken the sample from Windsor.
it is stupidity beyond measure, the laikipia rep waruguru is a special case considering how poor her county is, this money could have been used to build a school, health center but now it went to windsor to watch something i watched for free. aki
That must be dirty money...no one can spend hard-earned cash that way.
This is called total foolishness & stupidity. Everybody who paid 1M to watch Harry wedding in Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club should be put in Guinness World Records in the category of most stupid people in the world.
Has it ever occurred to people here commenting that some people like such events, they have money to spare, what is the problem. So it colonial mentality when Africans watch Machester United, spend almost same money in pubs to watch "the game", buy everything and anything Manchester , baptize their boys Rooney . Stop the hypocrisy, if people want to pay to enjoy champagne, orange cake, socialize , let them!
Sijui what black women all over the world so excited for. Forget the racist one drop rule, biblia inasema Numbers 1:18 people are counted by the house of their father. The bride is white. Barre ya muthee Markle.
Guest1 & formerlyguest2 since you two love white people weddings so much, kujeni sato twende weddo ya Bubba na dame yake Anna May mapengo. Serving the best brew-sketta with double the mayo ever. In lieu of presents, they want tobbaco and filterless rolling papers. We shall dance to Charlie Daniels 'The devil went down to Georgia' mpaka Che.
Oh shut your pie, does defending those people who want to watch A WEDDING equate to loving white people wedding and for the record it was not "white people wedding" , it was Meghan and Harry's wedding . Pick your battles if you may , but pick them wisely and stop engaging in useless discourse. I repeat if those who have money and time to watch a royal wedding want to, pilipili usioila yakuashia nini?
Foolish. Fools.
How many paid top shilling at some bars to watch Chelsea and Man U soccer? I bet most of them don't know our local teams. the Bible has a verse for everyone and every occasion. The best one in this case is: Proverbs 21:20: A fool and his money are soon parted
I will never tell somebody hie to spend their personal earnings,but shall certainly make noise if the money us coming from public coffers.
ILet reason and scientific facts guide the other than traditions.
Spend your money your way.Iwill spend mine my way.
Maxiley, I don't think, (unless I am missing the drift) the issue is in telling people how to spend their dough. Just appears too far fetched that this lavish lifestyle is going on in a country heaving with poverty. Personally, I feel a certain kind of way when I over indulge when surrounded by poverty. It's a personal thing and it is down right to personal morals. In other words, there is no right or wrong, just depends on personal experience, up bringing and a lot more that diversify us. For some people, that is just how they have been brought up...never known poverty so can't relate. For others (and I guess I fall under this squad), counting coins every waking minute makes one a little bit sensitive to over indulgence even when you have made it. Just saying.
Unbelieveble!
