King Charles home: The new monarch and Queen Consort Camilla currently reside at Clarence House, but will the big move to Buckingham palace no longer go ahead?
October 18, 2022 - 12:08 BST Rachel Avery King Charles III currently resides at Clarence House in London along with his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, and his plans to move to Buckingham Palace have been brought under question.The Sun has recently reported that the monarch will remain living at his original London home three days a week, with visits to Windsor Castle two days a week and weekends reserved for Norfolk, while The Sunday Times expresses doubts about King Charles' relocation.
The ten-year project is not expected to be finished until 2027 and the Sun report suggests that the King and Queen consort won't move into Buckingham Palace until then. After all, even when the Queen was in her final years, she decided to spend most of her time at Windsor Castle, shunning her huge palace. The extensive works at Buckingham Palace include updating the electrical cabling, plumbing and heating, at an estimated cost of a staggering £369million. The palace continues to be used for official duties and events, though, and is where King Charles hosted a reception for state leaders on the evening before the Queen's funeral.
King Charles is clearly very fond of his current residence, Clarence House, as it's where he and Camilla have spent almost 20 years together, and it's also where he lived as a child before moving into the palace. Clarence House used to be home to the late Queen Mother, and it is believed that the King has kept some of the original décor in the building as a homage to his beloved grandmother.
