The End Of A 180-Year Tradition: King Charles Will No Longer Stay in Buckingham Palace

King Charles III has decided not to reside in Buckingham Palace after its decade-long £369 million refurbishment concludes in 2027. This decision ends a royal tradition spanning nearly 190 years. The announcement occurred during a briefing on royal finances, where Charles also became the first British monarch to disclose the taxes paid to the government. The move marks a significant departure from historical norms regarding the official residence of the British monarchy after the costly renovations.
