It’s all part of his plan for a “slimmed down” monarchy.
The monarchy is extremely popular, of course, and a living monument to British history. But there are some uncomfortable truths about it, too.

that the public can enjoy. Now, royal sources claim that Charles may decommission Kensington Palace, too. , speculation about Kensington Palace’s fate have grown ever since Harry and Meghan moved to the U.S. That’s because Apartment 1 of the palace, a 21-room living space that underwent tens of millions of dollars in refurbishments, was intended for them—and it’s been empty for three years. Kind of a waste of space, right? Prince Charles reportedly thinks so.
Rumors that there is general disinterest in the space are coupled with speculation that Prince William, Kate Middleton, and the children intend to move to Windsor full-time.

The publication also quoted historian Christopher Warwick, who said, “Whispers that Kensington Palace's days as an official residence are numbered are a pointer to how many changes we are going to see when Charles becomes King. He would be wise to rent it out and hold it in reserve should he need to accommodate any Royals down the line.”
Should apartments in the palace, which has housed royals for over 300 years, become available, we’re down to throw our names on a lease. How much do you think those apartments would go for? Anyone want to go halfsies?
