Prince William is not only heir to the throne of King Charles III, he has also been his landlord since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Tetbury – The Prince of Wales not only received the new title after the death of Queen Elizabeth II (96, †2022), but also a beautiful property that is part of a $ 387 million real estate portfolio in the Duchy of Cornwall.

King Charles (73) bequeathed one of his favorite places of refuge and above all one of his most beautiful gardens to his eldest.

Properties belonging to the Duchy include Charles' favorite home in Gloucestershire - Highgrove House.

In the days of Princess Diana (36, † 1997), Charles played polo here with his pubescent sons or spent a few relaxing days in the garden with the boys.

The then Prince of Wales bought the house in 1980, so it should have many memories attached to it.

But if he wants to continue living there, he has to pay rent to the new owner, his son William.

As the British tabloid "The Sun" reports, citing an insider, the new monarch has to pay his eldest son the equivalent of around 800,000 euros per year for the long-term lease for the jewel and the surrounding land.

The Duchy owns around 360 hectares, which has been managed exclusively according to ecological principles since 1985, in accordance with the life philosophy of the previous landlord.

For Prince William, a piece of childhood is resurrected with Highgrove House

King Charles first spent time in the country with Princess Diana (36, † 1997), Prince William and Prince Harry in the fairytale mansion.

Later, Charles also traveled frequently with Camilla (74) to the stunning gardens that belong to the manor.

For Prince William, Highgrove House is already the second residence after Kensington Palace, in which he was able to spend direct childhood memories of life with his mother Princess Diana, who died much too early.

The most famous cricket stadium in the world is in the London district of Kennington and currently has a capacity of 25,500 spectators.

Charles is also expected to take over the Queen's favorite Sandringham holiday home in Norfolk.

Sandringham is the royals' traditional Christmas home, where the Windsors spent Christmas Eve and the Christmas holidays.

The Queen's speech was the highlight.

It is hard to imagine that King Charles will not continue this tradition.
