Royal Mews Moves from Palace to Windsor
9 Dec
Summary
- Royal Mews relocating from Buckingham Palace to Windsor.
- King Charles and Prince William prefer country homes.
- Buckingham Palace undergoing a $463 million renovation.
The Royal Mews is set to relocate from its historic home at Buckingham Palace to Windsor in the new year, marking a significant operational shift for the British monarchy. This move underscores a broader trend of royals prioritizing country residences over the traditional London base.
King Charles and his heir, Prince William, have both increasingly based their lives at country estates. Queen Elizabeth II initiated this shift during the COVID-19 pandemic, moving to Windsor Castle. King Charles and Queen Camilla now primarily reside at Clarence House when in London and have expressed comfort there, even after Buckingham Palace renovations are complete.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have officially moved into Forest Lodge in Windsor as their forever home. The Royal Mews' relocation, including its stables, carriages, and staff, reflects this family preference for Windsor. Additionally, Windsor Castle has become a hub for major royal events amidst Buckingham Palace's extensive $463 million renovation.
