The world’s most famous palace is becoming one of Britain’s fanciest office buildings.
Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms, 78 bathrooms, priceless art and gilded ceilings and one notable drawback: King Charles III doesn’t want to live there.
For years, palace officials suggested that Charles and Camilla’s residence at nearby Clarence House was temporary until a renovation project at a cost of 369 million pounds is completed. They have now acknowledged it’s permanent.
