But the three-day bash also placed the impact of so-called “high net-worth” individuals in the spotlight.

Guests at the wedding reportedly arrived in a squadron of 90 emission-pumping private jets.

Protestors put a fly in the ointment for the newlyweds with banners demanding “if you can hire Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax”.

It helped focus global attention on a debate as to who should pay for the climate impact of the wealthy with one estimate suggesting a billionaire emits more carbon in 90 minutes than an average citizen in a lifetime.
