FROM THE PALACE

Is Prince Charles planning to make Buckingham Palace a permanent shrine to his mother?

Momentum is gathering for the future king to base himself at Clarence House and St James’s Palace rather than move to the traditional official home of the monarch.

This could be a master stroke by Charles, instantly saving millions of pounds of taxpayers’ cash while retaining the Palace as a national museum to mark the reign of the country’s longestserving and much-loved Queen.
