King Charles might be the new monarch, but it’s going to take a while until he’s ready to call Buckingham Palace home.According to several British newspapers, the newly ascended king is “no fan” of Buckingham Palace and will wait out an eye-popping £369 million renovation — more than half a billion Canadian dollars — to the estate before he even considers moving in. ‘The Watcher’: What we know about the menacing true story that inspired Netflix “I know he is no fan of ‘the big house,’ as he calls the Palace,” a source told The Sunday Times. “He doesn’t see it as a viable future home or a house that’s fit for purpose in the modern world.
He feels that its upkeep, both from a cost and environmental perspective, is not sustainable.”The restoration and repairs to the Palace are said to include new wiring, plumbing and heating, and is thought to be about halfway into the 10-year renovation.“Refurbishment is very far behind schedule but the Monarch should be living at Buckingham Palace.
It’s the heart of the monarchy in London, otherwise it risks becoming just a tourist attraction. We effectively have a king without a palace to live in,” a source told The Sun.Recently, @RCT have removed all objects from #BuckinghamPalace’s East Wing, including over 3,000 works of art.Shown here is the Principal Corridor, home to the Centre Room, which leads onto the historic balcony – used by the Royal Family on national occasions.
