The Palace has served as the official London residence of the UK’s sovereigns since 1837.
Charles and Camilla first moved into Clarence House in 2003, before which it was home to the Queen Mother. It was built between 1825 and 1827 and is certainly beloved by the couple who had the property refurbished.
The home features pieces from Charles’s art collection and many family photos around the residence.

Given the Queen's recent passing, how the royal residences will be used has yet to be confirmed as a mark of respect for Her Majesty.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate have just recently moved to their new Windsor adobe Adelaide Cottage ahead of their three children starting at their new school.
The couple still have their Kensington Palace 20-room Apartment 1A as their office in London as well as the Anmer Hall mansion on the Sandringham estate, which was a special gift from Her Majesty, as a country retreat in Norfolk.
