King Charles III and Queen Camilla have surprised everyone by announcing what they've done in their private life. In the midst of his battle with illness, the British king is fueling rumors about himself with this decision: he's making a fortune.
Queen Camilla couldn't help but encourage her husband with this idea, which promises to generate debates and numerous reactions. Regardless, the plan has already been carried out even though it could potentially harm Prince William.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla do something that promises to change their lives
The marriage of King Charles III and Queen Camilla is making headlines in the British tabloids. In addition to family controversies, a new scandal has now emerged related to the couple's latest decision.
The step that King Charles III and Queen Camilla have decided to take in their private life is to rent out the residence owned by Elizabeth II. This way, the couple have decided to profit from another piece of Sandringham's vast personal estate. The operation turns a home historically linked to Elizabeth II, once used by her head gardener on the Norfolk estate, into a vacation rental.
The announced price is about £5,153 per week (6,500 euros). Listed as The Gardens House in luxury listings, the property offers accommodation for eight guests, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The commercial focus is on the specialized agency Oliver's Travels, which is responsible for positioning the house within the market for stays in historic British properties. Sandringham is one of the king's private residences, inherited as part of the family's personal estate and managed separately from the palaces funded by public money.
Therefore, the profits linked to that weekly rental will go to increase the private coffers of the king and Queen Camilla. Thus, each month, the couple would earn around 26,000 euros.
This private nature gives the king flexibility to explore income formulas that ease maintenance expenses without directly burdening the British taxpayer. However, for many, this is a new way for King Charles III and Queen Camilla to make a fortune at the expense of his reign.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla rent out Elizabeth II's house
Since his coronation, Charles III has promoted a more proactive strategy: opening spaces, diversifying uses, introducing environmental initiatives, and monetizing underutilized assets of the estate. The decision to capitalize on Elizabeth II's former home fits with a broader pattern of economic optimization.
Among the British population, every financial move by the Crown is scrutinized for transparency, spending moderation, and distributive justice. This decision by King Charles III and Queen Camilla comes after controversial discussions about payments to family members.
In fact, the king raised his own salary, something that doesn't seem to have been enough considering he's renting out his mother's property. The decision has already been made and the luxurious house is already being advertised. Those who book The Gardens House will experience a closeness to history: walks along royal paths, Edwardian architecture, and the lingering aura of the late queen.
Extraordinary profits aside, it should be noted that this step by Charles III and Camilla could directly affect William. As heir, the weekly rental of his grandmother's property could bring him problems in the future, since it is also part of his inheritance.
Regardless, it seems that King Charles III and Queen Camilla haven't consulted William about their decision and have gone ahead with it. This way, the increase in the couple's private coffers is inevitable.
