King Charles paid £12.9M in tax and will not live at Buckingham Palace
Awkward moment for the "tourists come to London in the hope of glimpsing the king at Buckingham Palace" brigade. www.thedailybeast.com/king-charles...
Otto English75Maybe they could turn Buckingham Palace into a mix of museum, public space and social housing since it's no longer being used. Huge 42 acre garden could be converted into parkland.
Gerri McGerriface7Do something useful with it, and while we’re at it, maybe do something useful with the royals, like confining them to the bin of historical crap we don’t need.
Bryann Thomas4Is he going to move to Manchester as well?
David Boughton4It’s quite the thing, I don’t understand. My Mum and Sister are committed royalists and I’ve listened and asked politely. It’s like a form of religion that is inexplicable to me But it’s a thing.
Dawny B3So you’re essentially going to look at a rather oversized office.
Janey Llou (Jane to my friends)3Think it’s one of the ugliest buildings in London. Just plonked down. Nasty, big and grey.
Magso2So, Buckingham Palace will still be a tourist attraction 🤔 Abolish monarchy.
Long Covid Lady2I believe it was recently refurbished? Move the Commons and Lords into it as Westminster is falling apart.
❄️ endofthenight99 ❄️🏳️🌈2They can dress Boris up as the king for the tourists
Iacovos2Former royal residences are much more interesting once the monarchy has been overthrown - think of Versailles or the Hermitage
