While
Prince William and Kate Middleton continue to enjoy life at Windsor, Buckingham Palace is undergoing a renovation worth $463 million.
King Charles III will stay at Clarence House during the project, while
Prince Edward and
Princess Anne will reside elsewhere during the project. Despite the costly update, the Prince of Wales is reportedly expected to remain at Windsor even once he becomes king.

People reported that insiders refer to Buckingham Palace as "monarch HQ," but the renovation process won't be complete until 2027.

Prince William could change up his home base.
