“Bulldoze Buckingham Palace and build condos?”
Don’t give Chuck any ideas.
The word is that Chuck HATES Buckingham Palace. After seeing a documentary on the place I can’t blame him. The private rooms are small and cramped, the phone service is buggy and the place just hasn’t been kept up. Last estimate I heard was a total refit would cost more than £300,000 and that was a decade ago.
Buckingham Palace is currently in the middle of a renovation right now, and it won’t be complete for several more years. This gives KC III a great excuse not to move in.

“Last estimate I heard was a total refit would cost more than £300,000 and that was a decade ago.”
I’m guessing you are missing a bunch of zeros. A coat of paint on the inside would probably run 300,000 pounds.
