King Charles Is Set to Break Royal Tradition After News He's "Unlikely" to Follow in Queen Elizabeth's Footsteps

Buckingham Palace has been a symbol of the monarchy for hundreds of years, and it's where the late Queen Elizabeth called home until she moved to Windsor Castle permanently in 2020.

The Telegraph reported that royal aides have been keeping The King's cancer diagnosis in mind when it comes to his living situation. "One concession to his health and advancing years that has been made, however, is that it appears unlikely he will ever move from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace after the restoration is completed in three year's time," the publication's associate editor, Camilla Tominey, wrote.
