King Charles to Skip Buckingham Palace

King Charles and Queen Camilla won’t be moving into Buckingham Palace after its £400 million renovation, breaking a 170-year royal tradition — the palace is now more office than home. Alongside the palace’s financial report, it revealed Charles paid over £12 million in taxes — a voluntary move echoing Queen Elizabeth’s 1992 precedent. Meanwhile, the Sovereign Grant, which funds royal duties, will drop for the first time in decades to under £100 million annually starting 2026, after funding the palace overhaul. Despite cuts, the grant remains substantial, fueled by soaring Crown Estate profits from offshore wind deals. The royals also earn from the Duchy of Lancaster and private estates like Sandringham and Balmoral, as public scrutiny of royal finances intensifies.
