'Big house' where nobody's home...

BUCKINGHAM Palace looks set to remain as a mere “working hub” for the monarchy, with no members of the Royal Family in residence.

- with Royal Editor EMILY FERGUSON

'Big house' where nobody's home...

The iconic building in the heart of central London is a visible symbol of the monarchy, drawing thousands of visitors each year and countless tourists who travel to the Mall to pose for a picture outside the residence's historic gates.

But once the current £369million renovation work is completed in 2027, neither the current King or heir apparent are likely to ever live there.

Charles favours his more modest Clarence House, which is just around the corner.

The King and Queen have lived there for 22 years and it’s far more homely.
