The Monarch’s lavish living quarters at Buckingham Palace are set to be reduced to little more than “a flat above the shop” when Prince Charles becomes King.
The plan is part of a radical drive to overhaul the vast Royal estate, which will involve the official London residence being thrown open to the public more than ever before.
Other changes being considered under Charles’ wide-ranging plans include turning Balmoral into a museum to the Queen and moving the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge into Windsor Castle, The Mail on Sunday understands.
Charles is said not to want the Berkshire residence for himself as its position under the Heathrow flight path makes it “too noisy”. […]
The Duke of York is said to be particularly anxious about his home, Park Lodge in Windsor Great Park. However, courtiers say there is no suggestion he will be asked to move.

What do you actually know about him?
Why does he or any of them even deserve a flat?
You apparently live in California.
I doubt you know how the majority of British people feel about the Royal Family - and I doubt it’s any of your business.
