King Charles may never live at Buckingham Palace as his move to the monarch's official residence has been put on hold.
Buckingham Palace has been the sovereign's official home since the 1800s and was the primary residence of the late Queen until she moved to Windsor Castle on a more permanent basis at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Charles and Queen Consort Camilla's official London residence was Clarence House - a short walk from the palace along The Mall. At the moment, Buckingham Palace is undergoing a mammoth 10-year renovation project that is costing £369million and is not due to be completed until 2027.
