King Charles has an abundance of homes to choose after inheriting a wealth of palaces, castles and estates when he ascended to the throne.
While the Monarch has three official residences - Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse - he also has a variety of lesser-known properties in his portfolio too.
Before his accession King Charles had properties all over the UK, from Scotland to the Isles of Scilly. One property is even further afield in the rural village of Viscri, Transylvania.
It has been suggested that King Charles and Queen Camilla will move to Buckingham Palace once its refurbishment is complete in around four years but it is not known exactly where they plan to live after their Coronation.
For decades King Charles has split his time between Clarence House in London and Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, the Mirror reports.
Sources have previously claimed King Charles did not enjoy residing at Buckingham Palace and have suggested he may decide to simply use it for royal business such as official appointments, receptions and state banquets, instead of living there.
Here, we look at some of the spectacular places in King Charles' property portfolio.
Clarence House
As well as being their London home, Clarence House is also Charles and Camilla's official residence and the home of their offices.
John Nash built the townhouse between 1825-27 for the Duke of Clarence, George III’s third son. The property is currently not open to visitors and it was also home to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, for nearly five decades.
The Guardian reported dozens of members of staff were given notice of the threat of redundancy following King Charles' accession.
Private secretaries, the finance office, the communications team and other loyal household employees were among those who received the letter.
A Clarence House spokesman said at the time: "Following last week's Accession, the operations of the Household of the former Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have ceased and, as required by law, a consultation process has begun.
"Our staff have given long and loyal service and, while some redundancies will be unavoidable, we are working urgently to identify alternative roles for the greatest possible number of staff."
Highgrove House
Highgrove in the Cotswolds has a special meaning to the monarch, and is said to be one of his favourite places to stay.
The home is located near Tetbury and Westonbirt Arboretum, which is close to Worcestershire down the M5.
It is where the new King spends his time forgetting about royal duties and losing himself among seedlings, trees and even his own private fairytale cottage.
The stately home was purchased in 1980 when Charles was still the Prince of Wales, and it soon became the marital home of the future King and Princess Diana.
It boasts exquisite interiors by Robert Kime (who also decorated rooms at Clarence House) and sustainable practices including solar panels and a natural sewage filtering system.
Highgrove was initially occupied at weekends by Charles, Diana and their two children, Prince William and Prince Harry, who spent a majority of their childhoods at the house.
However, Diana grew to detest the home as she felt like going there was "a return to prison".
Years later, the nine-bedroom mansion became the preferred home for Charles and Camilla, for when they are spending time outside of London.
Dumfries House
Dumfries House in Ayrshire was purchased in 2007 by King Charles and his charity The Prince's Foundation.
While other royal homes are used as a residence for Charles and Camilla, Dumfries House is open to the public all year round and is used for a range of education and training opportunities.
The estate stretches out over an expansive 2,000 acres and boasts a stunning 18th-century house and adventure playground.
The King is credited with “saving” the estate from disrepair, with restaurants and accommodation, as well as walking trails, open to the public.
In 2014, Queen Elizabeth visited Dumfries House for the first time to open a walled garden that was named in her honour.
Visitors are asked to put £3 in an honesty box to visit the garden.
The estate’s B&B has 22 bedrooms and prices start at £190 per room per night, according to the website.
Blue House
King Charles bought the Blue House in Transylvania, Romania in 2006 after falling in love with the area during an official visit in 1998.
The vibrant farmhouse is located in the rural village Viscri and is open to the public when he is not in residence.
The King typically spends a couple of days each year in the country and can be regularly spotted meeting the locals and going for hikes.
The house itself features seven bedrooms and has no radios or televisions inside in order to create a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Rooms at the Blue House cost around £100 a night and they are all furnished with antique Transylvanian furniture. Designers maintained the cottage’s authenticity by carefully restoring it with traditional methods and materials.
In addition to the seven en-suite bedrooms, the property features a drawing room, a dining room, a sitting room, a large kitchen and an outdoor breakfast barn which contains an impressive bread oven.
His Majesty's love of Transylvania is in part due to the harmony of local people and nature that can be found in Romania.
In a docuseries titled Wild Carpathia, Charles said: "It’s the timelessness of it which is so remarkable, almost out of some of those stories one used to read as a child. It’s quite remarkable.
"People are yearning for that sense of belonging and identity and meaning."
Tamarisk House
Just a five-minute walk from local amenities, Tamarisk boasts two bedrooms on the ground floor with sea views, along with a family bathroom, sleeping up to eight.
The four-bedroom property is largely hidden from view by tamarisk trees to protect the royals' privacy.
On the first floor, a twin bedroom can be found with an en suite shower room and a master bedroom.
Stunning views of St Mary's, the largest and most populous of the Isles of Scilly, can be enjoyed from the living room by a wood burner, or outside on the sun terrace.
The island itself, which measures just two-and-a-half miles by one mile, is home to around 150 residents, and, thanks to its position in the Gulf Stream, enjoys a sub-tropical climate.
Despite the Duchy of Cornwall being the ultimate owners of the island, the lease is held by King Charles' friends, Robert Dorrien-Smith and his wife Lucy, who are its guardians.
The cottage - which has wifi, hi-fi, smart TVs and a well-equipped kitchen - is available to book to the public, with prices ranging from £1,315 to £5,295 for a seven-night stay, depending on when you visit.
The Castle of Mey
When his grandmother, The Queen Mother, died in 2002 at the age of 101, Charles was left an impressive property portfolio.
Located in Caithness, the Castle of Mey was reportedly bought for less than £100 and was included in the portfolio.
The caste on the northern coast of Scotland is close to Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire which is another of the Royal Family’s Scottish residences, with the residence being just a four-and-a-half-hour drive away.
It was built between 1566 and 1572 on the lands of Mey which belonged to the Bishops of Caithness.
But then it was purchased by the recently widowed Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother in 1952, following the death of her husband King George VI on February 6 of the same year.
She brought the castle up to date by adding electricity and freshwater supplies.
The library was used as her private sitting room in later life and she was known to watch her favourite British comedies Fawlty Towers and Dad’s Army there.
The building was gifted to the Queen Elizabeth Castle of Mey Trust, and is open to the public between May and September every year.
Llwynywermod
Charles and Camilla's most sustainable property is Llwynywermod, the royal estate which is set in the village of Myddfai, Carmarthenshire, close to the scenic Brecon Beacons.
Llwynywermod is a huge farm which includes multiple buildings and was bought by Prince Charles back in 2007, reportedly costing him £1.2 million.
The estate boasts an impressive three cottages, a Grade II-listed barn, the main house and plenty of land.
Since buying the property, Prince Charles has personally overseen the developments, ensuring it was as sustainable as possible, reports say.
For the renovation, Charles reused materials such as locally sourced Welsh slate and lime plaster and hired local labourers to transform the home into a 'sustainable haven'.
All of the farm's heating and hot water comes from a wood-chip boiler and there is even a tank for rainwater storage.
The home has perfectly landscaped gardens at its front and back with plenty of vegetable patches for growing fresh produce. Their main reception room has huge ceilings with all of its original features such as wooden beams kept exposed.
Inside there are plenty of traditional log fireplaces and burners, and the furniture all compliments the classic design of the farmhouse.
The majority of the property's furnishings are also made from dark wood to match the original features.
