According to a recent news report, a petition that demands no British taxpayer's money be spent on Princess Eugenie's upcoming royal wedding has received more than 18,000 signatures. The anti-monarchy Republic group is behind the online operation, according to the Daily Mail, and the group reportedly insists that taxpayers should not be helping to fund the nuptials of a non-working royal.

The online group has also put forward a demand that says all costs for the upcoming royal wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank should ideally be met by the royal family.
