And again in the press discuss the details of the future reign of the heir to the British crown. Prince Charles in a year "knock" 70 years, but he still does not lose hope to become king, taking the place of his mother. A certain source from the heir's environment told reporters that the future monarch does not like large-scale residential buildings and therefore does not want to live in Buckingham Palace. When his time comes to reign, he is not going to move to the palace and this is logical. After all, the number of rooms in this building exceeds seven hundred! The Prince calls him only "This huge house."
My home is my castle
It is rumored that Prince Charles and his beloved wife love their own Clarence Palace, much smaller. In it, the couple is cozy and quiet. And such "machinations" as Buckingham Palace are now out of the trend, because they are ill-adapted for life.
The opinion of Prince Charles is entirely supported by another prince - his eldest son William. He repeatedly said that it is quite possible to do less expensive in the operation of the building.
Recall that Buckingham Palace was called the official residence of British monarchs a little less than 200 years ago - in 1837. It happened with the light hand of Queen Victoria.

Today it makes sense to allow tourists to inspect the interiors of the palace. Surely, such an idea will be to the taste of the British. Whether a joke, the maintenance of a palace annually manages to tax bearers in £ 369 million (!!!).
