Inside King Charles' £1.2m Welsh bolthole as he gives it up for 'obvious' reason

ok.co.uk:

Following the news that King Charles has chosen to give up his lease on his Welsh home Llwynywermod, royal expert Jennie Bond has called the move a "no brainer".The King bought Llwynywermod in 2007 via the Duchy of Cornwall and paid £1.2 million for the farmhouse near Llandovery in Carmarthenshire.The decision comes after His Majesty passed his Prince of Wales title down to Prince William and as he will be unable to spend as much time in the nation as he did do before his accession.

It is understood that there are no plans for the Prince and Princess of Wales to keep a permanent base in the country as they will instead stay in local hotels and B&B's to support the community during their visits.

Speaking exclusively to OK!, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond explains why the decision to remove the property from the line-up of royal homes is a good idea.

She said: "It seems an obvious move now that Charles is no longer the Prince of Wales. "I think he is also aware that the family have too many properties and so it was probably a bit of a no-brainer to give up the lease on this house. "He lavished a lot of love on Llwynywermod.
