All palaces that have been their home | Digest Architectural

Where does King Carlos live? When he rose to the throne last year, he inherited more than a job. In fact, he also inherited a vast real estate portfolio, which includes private houses and official residences throughout the United Kingdom. But the new monarch also built his own properties during his stage as Prince of Wales, from a neoclassical farm in Glouceseshire to a guest house in Romania. Although several of these properties have passed to Prince William – the new owner of the Ducado de Cornualles -, King Carlos, who will be crowned on May 6, It still has many residences at your disposal. From the Buckingham Palace, where he was born, to Clarence House, where he lived as a child and again after his marriage to Queen Consort, we have gathered all the king's residences, both past and present.

King Carlos was born at Buckingham Palace on November 14, 1948. At that time, the palace belonged to his grandfather, King Jorge VI. He became the official residence of his mother in 1952, and the now king spent much of his childhood in the palace of 775 rooms, built in 1703. The palace became the property of the royal family in 1761, when King Jorge III bought it for Queen Carlota. Over the years it has been the subject of important reforms, including an extension made by architects John Nash and Edward Blore. The palace is in the middle of a renewal of 10 years that will cost 500 million dollars, and King Carlos currently uses it to work, but continues to live in Clarence House.
