The royal residence you might soon be able to rent

Fancy a stay in one of King Charles's former homes? Llwynywermod could soon become available to rent.
Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle or Balmoral might be the first places that come to mind when you think of royal family homes.
However, there is another royal dwelling, situated on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park in the southwestern Welsh county of Carmarthenshire that might be worth turning your attention to: King Charles III’s former home in Llwynywermod.
It’s owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Fun fact: The Duchy’s estate isn’t restricted to the geographical borders of the Cornwall region and in fact covers more than 52,000 hectares of land.
Llwynywermod could soon become available to rent, according to British newspaper The Telegraph, which reported in June that the King had informed the Duchy that he will not renew the property’s lease, which is expected to expire this summer.
The decision is reportedly due to the King’s belief that it’s “unlikely” he will be able to use the property in the same way as he did before while Prince of Wales. That title, you’ll remember, was passed down to his son, Prince William, on Charles’s coronation in May.
Two other barn conversions in Llwynywermod are already available for short holiday stays. The three-bedroom North Range and two-bedroom West Range properties form part of the courtyard adjoining the main farmhouse where the royals used to stay. Therefore, it is likely the royal lodging will also be let out commercially.
It could be a much more enticing home to stay in – or live in, if you so wish – having been the King’s sanctuary and event space for many years.

A federal gun case against U.S. President Joe Biden's son Hunter opened Monday with jury selection, following the collapse of a plea deal that would have avoided the spectacle of a trial so close the 2024 election. First lady Jill Biden was seated in the front row of the courtroom, in a show of support for her son.
