King Charles, 74, and his wife Queen Camilla, 76, are yet to relocate from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace, but the grand residence is still frequently used for official engagements and banquets.
One room that does often get used is the Audience Room, where the monarch welcomes presidents, prime ministers and dignitaries and something you may not have noticed is that Charles has made some significant changes…
His Majesty has had a shake up when it comes to the photos on display, and both of his sons appear to have been replaced in favour of European royals.
In July 2019, the late Queen Elizabeth met with the then-new Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the sentimental photos on display included one of Prince Harry with his wife Meghan Markle, as well as Prince William with his wife Princess Kate.
Fast forward to October 25 when Charles was greeting Professor Hugh Heggie and the wooden table was in clear view, but this time the photo frames were different, including European royals instead.

The photo on the left appears to be Queen Beatrix, while the other is Queen Silvia and King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
While King Charles hasn't spoken out about strained family relations, his son Prince Harry has been very vocal about the fall out with him stepping down as a senior royal.

However, in an interview with ITV's Tom Bradby, Harry admitted he wanted to reconcile. "I want a family, not an institution. I would like to get my father back, I would like to have my brother back," he said.

As well as subtle-but-significant photo changes, His Majesty has made changes when it comes to environmental causes close to his heart.

The palace is currently undergoing a 10-year project to update the electrical cabling, plumbing and heating inside the historic building.

"The most cost-effective way to replace these essential services, and to ensure that The Palace is fit for purpose for the next 50 years, is to undertake a phased programme of works over ten years."
