King Charles and Queen Camilla have reportedly decided to leave Buckingham Palace after major development.
According to royal expert Roya Nikkhah, “Courtiers previously insisted the King and Queen would definitely live at Buckingham Palace when works are complete in 2027.
“Now, royal sources concede the plan is for only ‘potential residential occupation’. Charles and Camilla’s friends say they’ll never leave Clarence House.”
The royal expert quoted the friends as saying, “This is the gradual shifting of monarchy. There was a time when people said ‘if the [late] Queen doesn’t live at Buckingham Palace, what’s the point of Buckingham Palace?’ The King is mindful it will continue to be monarchy HQ with the advantage he can make it more accessible.”
The GB News claimed Palace will not host state visits for the next three years as it undergoes a £369 million refurbishment programme.
The outlet, citing The Times, reported the historic royal residence will welcome the Emir of Qatar next month for what will be its final state visit until 2027.
King Charles friends told the outlet, "The King will enjoy the symmetry of discharging his duties as monarch in the room where he was born."
Roya Nikkhah claimed, “Charles will now personally fund renovating his palace quarters, but sources say he’s unlikely ever to live there.”
