Charles is said not to want the Berkshire residence for himself as its position under the Heathrow flight path makes it “too noisy”....

Poor baby. I wonder if Mum found the noise at Buckingham Palace disturbing when she weathered The Blitz there.

And it’s funny how he never heard of soundproofing.

He’s right—I visited Windsor Castle in 2016, and planes from Heathrow fly over it about once every 5 minutes. It’s incredibly noisy and oddly ghetto. Even though there was a SOLID SILVER TABLE in there which was the both the most grotesque and beautiful piece of furniture ever. I wouldn’t want to live there either—never buy in an area with an “unfixable defect”—which in this case is noise. It’s like buying a home right by the freeway.

But my trip to London was amazing—I recommend it to all of you! The Tower of London, the Churchill War Rooms, the Victoria and Albert museum, Buckingham Palace (we toured inside), the cathedrals—I loved it all.
