- Charles will retain Clarence House as his London home instead of using Buckingham Palace as the official residence during his reign.
- The 10-year project replaces boilers, electrical cables and pipes and is due for completion in March 2027.
- Despite having no resident monarch, the palace will remain the ceremonial and operational centre of royal life.
- Royal-finance expert Norman Baker called for full-time public access, with ticket revenue directed to the Treasury.
It seems that a lot of money has just been wasted. If Charles doesn’t want to live there, that’s fine, but it should be totally opened up full-time with all the ticket sales going back to the treasury to pay for the refurbishment work. It’s outrageous.— Norman Baker, royal finances expert and author, told the Mirror that much money had been wasted and that if Charles doesn’t want to live there, the palace should be opened up full-time with all ticket sales going back to the treasury to fund the refurbishment.
