No British monarch will ever live at Buckingham Palace again despite a £369million taxpayer-funded refit of the historic royal residence, the Daily Mail<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

The King and Queen will not be moving in even when a decade-long refurbishment of the monarch’s official London residence is completed next year, it was confirmed on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Charles and Camilla will instead reside permanently across The Mall at Clarence House.<\/p>\n

Prince William has already announced that he and his wife, the Princess of Wales, intend to remain at their private home, Forest Lodge in Windsor, when he eventually accedes to the throne, meaning the next sovereign will not even reside in the capital.<\/p>\n

The historic royal residence, first used by Queen Victoria in 1837, will instead open its doors to the public more each year in a bid to generate income and be less of a burden on taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of her reign, Queen Elizabeth – who made no secret of her antipathy to living ‘above the shop’ – only stayed at the palace once or twice a week, preferring to base herself at Windsor Castle, which she adored.<\/p>\n

The Keeper of the Privy Purse, James Chalmers, has said that Buckingham Palace will remain the primary venue for ceremonial and official events, including the reception of high-ranking foreign dignitaries.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
