Hotels in Windsor near Prince Harry and Meaghan Markle's wedding venue are sold out at more than three times its original cost. HotelsCombined.com has revealed that the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018 at Windsor Castle has led to full-occupancy of the hotels in the area.

Only a single bed remains in the Windsor castle area at The Manor Hotel, which is currently available for $1,184 per night. Meanwhile, Macdonald Windsor Hotel has had TV crews pay a whopping $17,750 for suites with balconies overlooking the High Street, which will provide the best view of the newlyweds as they take part in a carriage procession down the main road, while Harte & Garter, a four star hotel located directly opposite Windsor Castle had a slightly cheaper, but still very expensive rate of $14,183 for its rooms overlooking the castle.
 
According to HotelsCombined, the average price in Windsor is usually at $185 for Saturdays, but the average price paid for a room has more than triple to an average of $500 to $567.
 
For those fans who are wanting to see the wedding in-person and who haven’t made a booking yet, hotels in regions that offer easy access to Windsor are also enjoying high occupancy, but still have available and more affordable options. Rooms near Heathrow airport, 20 kms away have more than doubled with rooms that are usually $85 selling at $170 per night.
