Pippa Middleton and her new husband James Matthews are
practically professional honeymooners at this point.

The couple, who wed on May 20,
have been on a whirlwind honeymoon ever since. As Travel +
Leisure previously reported, the newlyweds began their
global journey the day after their lavish nuptials in the
U.K., flying halfway around the world for a stay at Tetiaroa
Island,
home to the luxurious 35-villa retreat known as The Brando.
Next, the duo was spotted in Sydney, Australia before jetting off
to Darwin, the capital of Australia’s Northern
Territory.

Along the way the pair has dined at some of the world’s
best restaurants, stayed at some seriously over-the-top hotels,
and flown not only first class, but on private planes as well. So
just how much has this honeymoon, which is entering its third
week, cost? According to the
Daily
Mail
, Middleton and Matthews have racked up a £120,000
(just about $155,000) bill. And that is on top of their estimated
$1.5 million wedding ceremony and reception.

Just their first flight alone, from Heathrow to Los
Angeles International Airport, could have cost in excess of
$13,000, according to the Daily Mail, if they flew business
class. From there, they hopped a flight from Los Angeles
to the Pacific Islands, which could have added another $8,400 to
their bill.

Once on the islands, the couple spent $3,375 a night at The
Brando, which is actually a discounted rate thanks to it being
the low season.

Next, the two hopped a flight from the Pacific Islands to
Australia. For that flight the Daily Mail estimates the newlyweds
spent around $3,700. Upon arrival Middleton and Matthews checked
into their accommodations at the
Park Hyatt
hotel
on the Sydney Harbor, where suites go for around
$1,000 a night.

Just a day later, the honeymooners hopped on yet another
flight to Darwin, which likely set them back another $3,450. And
if all this money has you in a cold sweat, just remember, this
estimate doesn’t include the cost of food, clothing, staff, and
more.

While we have no idea where the royally-adjacent couple
will stop next, we do know they plan to end their travels in one
of Matthews’ family homes in the Scottish
Highlands. Thankfully for their wallets, the pair will only
have to pay for flights to and from the area, though mere
commoners can also experience the renovated eight-room Victorian
mansion on a 10,000-acre estate for themselves. All you need to
do is shell out $13,300 to rent
the place for eight people for three nights. For $20,000, the
estate will accommodate a full party of 16 people.
