King Charles III will not reside at Buckingham Palace, according to reports that cite a shift in royal living arrangements. The Daily Telegraph and Daily Express feature headlines suggesting the monarch will not occupy the palace.
Meanwhile, the monarchy's core funding is projected to double within three years, reaching £100 million annually. This adjustment stems from a new formula agreed upon before parliament, which allocates 20.5 percent of Crown Estate profits to the royal household, an increase from the previous 12 percent, The Times reports.
