King Charles won't live in Buckingham Palace after completion of £369M renovation
The palace will stay the monarchy’s main workplace as officials seek to expand tours and events after the 10-year, £369 million overhaul.
- King Charles III will remain at Clarence House after Buckingham Palace's 10-year, £369 million refurbishment completes next March, choosing to prioritize public access over royal residence at the historic site.
- Built in the 1820s, the 775-room palace has housed every British monarch since Queen Victoria and is undergoing infrastructure upgrades to ensure the building remains viable for another 50 years.
- Royal officials stressed the King and Queen Camilla will continue working from the palace, which will remain "the ceremonial and operational center" of the monarchy despite their residence elsewhere.
- During Thursday's briefing on royal finances, Charles became the first British monarch to publicly disclose his taxes, revealing £12.9 million in income and capital gains for the 2024-25 financial year.
- These disclosures aim to demonstrate the 1,000-year-old institution can evolve amid criticism regarding links to Jeffrey Epstein, though author Ed Owens said he hopes for "a second act" regarding the palace's future.
