In a break from royal tradition, the palace will be opened up further to the public rather than become the King's home. Royal officials said on Thursday the King and Queen will stay at Clarence House even after Buckingham Palace's £370m revamp finishes next year. The palace stays the monarchy's working HQ, but opening it to visitors is easier if the King isn't living there.
