King Charles sparking 'revolution as refusal challenges 200-year royal tradition'


In a new programme, 'Royal Residences: A Map of Britain,' King Charles III was suggested to be "starting a revolution" by breaking a 200-year-old tradition involving Buckingham Palace

The narrator noted: "Even though it's been the London residence of every monarch since Queen Victoria, Charles and Camilla haven't moved in, preferring, for now, to be in Clarence House just down the road." In addition to inheriting the Crown Estate (a vast portfolio of property and land), he's now personally in possession of his mother's beloved Balmoral Castle in Scotland, and Sandringham House in Norfolk. On the other hand, Buckingham Palace has served as the official residence of the sovereign since 1837 and continues to function as the King's administrative headquarters, although the State Rooms are open to the public during the summer.
