Charles wants Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, Windsor Castle, Sandringham and Balmoral to be transformed from "private spaces to public places", according to The Sunday Times. The newspaper said the heir to the throne wants these royal residences to open more widely for longer periods during the year. The newspaper said Charles is considering opening Buckingham Palace and gardens throughout the year when he is king, including when he is in residence. The traditional summer opening of Buckingham Palace's state rooms and themed exhibition, which normally welcomes thousands, has been cancelled for a second year due to the pandemic.
