Sell palace to make a quick buck
Daily Express

“THEY'RE changing guard at Buckingham Palace, Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
-
“We looked for the King, but he never came.”
“Well, God take care of him, all the same,”
Says Alice.
AA Milne’s whimsy was first published in 1924, but 101 years on, it strikes a contemporary note. Will a King (or a Queen) ever again be “in” at Buckingham Palace? Is its role as the royal home about to be quietly consigned to history? Some are even asking if the huge monolithic structure at the heart of London has a royal future at all.
The reasons for the question marks almost visibly fluttering from the palace flagpole are twofold.
Firstly, there are currently no royals of any rank living there. That’s because it’s in the throes of a massive ten-year restoration, not due to be completed until at least 2027.
