King Charles to stay at Clarence House and reveals £12.9 million tax payment
King Charles III announced that he will continue residing at Clarence House after the decade-long refurbishment of Buckingham Palace is completed, with the palace set to serve as the monarchy’s operational centre. The decision was reported by NBC News, which noted that the king and Queen Camilla plan to leave Buckingham Palace once the renovation finishes. CNN later echoed the plan, confirming that the royal household intends to keep the king’s London residence at Clarence House while the palace undergoes the extensive works.
In a separate disclosure, the Royal Household revealed that the monarch paid £12. 9 million in taxes for the latest fiscal year, making him the first British sovereign to publish such figures, according to the BBC. BBC’s later transparency report highlighted the payment but said the method used to calculate the amount was not explained.
