charles ix III testament non unrecorded at Buckingham castle after the completion of a 10-year, 369-million-pound ($692 million Cdn) refurbishment program as the monarchy seeks to increase public access to the historic building that has been the centre of royal life for almost 200 years.
Royal officials stressed that the king and Queen Camilla would continue to work out of the palace, which will remain "the ceremonial and operational centre" of the monarchy.
But for the rest of Charles's reign, the king and queen will remain in nearby Clarence House.
"It is and will remain Monarchy HQ, the crown jewel of our national buildings," said James Chalmers, the senior royal official responsible for managing the king's financial affairs.
The decision was announced Thursday during a briefing on royal finances at which Charles became the first British monarch to reveal the taxes he paid to the government.
The king paid 12.9 million pounds ($24.19 million Cdn) in income and capital gains taxes in the 2024-25 financial year, up from 11.7 million pounds ($21.94 milion Cdn) the previous year.
