Despite the vast wealth of the British royal family and their sprawling properties across the United Kingdom, media reports indicate that Prince William has "insisted" that his father, King Charles, pay him "rent" to stay in a house he owns during the holidays.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 last year, Prince William inherited the property known as "Llwynywermod," located in the Brecon Beacons National Park, where King Charles used to spend a week or two every summer.
Now that the Prince of Wales has ownership of the three-bedroom residence, reports suggest he plans to rent it out as a holiday home, despite the "disappointment" of the King.
An anonymous source told British media that "the King was very upset, but that was the deal. It means he can continue staying there, but he will have to pay rent while it will be rented out the rest of the time."
The source added: "The King agreed to cover maintenance costs related to the garden because he doesn’t want to see all the good work on the land go to waste."
The picturesque home, set on 192 acres, is expected to be available for rent after September, adding to the impressive list of royal properties marketed for rent in nearby locations.
The house features a spacious barn, a dining room accommodating up to 16 guests, along with custom carpets inspired by 18th-century Welsh blanket designs. Its gardens bloom with roses, honeysuckle, and jasmine, in addition to six maple trees that were used in William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011 and replanted in the cottage garden.
The American newspaper "The Washington Post" reported that sources familiar with royal affairs previously indicated that William and Kate want to support the tourism economy and have rented out properties and rooms to fulfill that role.
