A Buckingham Palace source spoke with People to reveal some behind the scenes info about the luxury space.
"While the British taxpayer has paid for the overall renovation costs through the Queen’s annual Sovereign Grant, Buckingham Palace figures released Monday show it cost the public around $3 million."

However, anything that's "movable" (i.e curtains, furnishings) have been paid for by Harry and Meghan themselves.
Harry and Meghan have also had to pay out of pocket for anything deemed too expensive for the public to pay for.

This includes an upgraded kitchen, bathroom, fitted wardrobes and flooring.
For some perspective, Prince William and Kate Middleton's renovations to Kensington Palace cost over five million dollars back in 2014.
GUYS! FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!
I guess that 3 milli isn't THAT bad?
