Pay Up, Dad! Prince William Will Charge King Charles to Stay in Cottage
William to charge Charles to stay in Welsh property
For the last few months, the story has been about King Charles wanting Prince Andrew out of Royal Lodge in Windsor—a move now at least temporarily on hold as Sarah Ferguson recuperates from breast cancer surgery.
Now, the landlord boot is on the other foot, as it is Charles being asked to fully move out from—and expect to be charged if he wants to stay in—his once-dream vacation retreat. Prince William, the new Prince of Wales, will charge his father Charles, the old Prince of Wales, to stay in the latter’s Welsh cottage—and William has asked Charles to move all his belongings out of the property. This has “miffed” the king, the Mail on Sunday reports.
Charles bought the property, Llwynywermod, for £1.2m ($1.6m) in 2007 through the Duchy of Cornwall, which William took over after Queen Elizabeth’s death. An “insider” told the Mail that Charles was “disappointed” that William planned to rent the property out from next September. The three-bedroom property comes with a barn, and is set in 192 acres.
A royal source told the Mail: “The King was quite miffed but that was the deal. It means he can continue to stay there but he will pay rent to the Duchy and the rest of the time it will be rented out. The King has agreed to pay for the topiary upkeep as he doesn't want to see all the good work in the grounds go to waste.”
William has already indicated he wants to build public housing on the Duchy of Cornwall estate.
