Announcement made over King Charles' residences Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle as tickets revealed
The latest news on where the royals live...
King Charles is ploughing ahead with his plans for his royal residences and is even selling tickets to visit Windsor Castle.
This update comes amid speculation over whether The Firm will be keeping a low profile, following Andrew Mountbatten Windsor being stripped of his titles and subsequent exit from Royal Lodge.
Despite the drama, it seems King Charles’ royal residences still have a string of events in full swing.
An announcement of tickets for the summer season at Buckingham Palace came to light this week. Tickets to visit Windsor Castle are also being made available.
You can buy tickets to look inside Windsor Castle
The Royal Collection Trust shared that the public can now buy themselves a pass to tour the regal rooms inside the palace.
The post, alongside a snap of a sun-soaked Buckingham Palace, explained: “Plan your visit to the royal residences next year! Buckingham Palace will be open 9 July to 27 September 2026 and you can book your tickets now.
“Tickets are also now available for Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse across 2026. Let us know if you are planning a visit next year?”
In just a day, the post has garnered over 1000 likes. Plenty of royal fans also sounded off in the comments.
“I would love to,” chimed in one.
“I’m planning to visit the East Wing and State Rooms, but the tickets are not available yet,” explained another.
A third simply commented a row of love-heart eye emojis to imply their excitement.

King Charles’ residences plough on with plans
Summer 2024 was a record-breaking success for the the palace. This was demonstrated in the Sovereign Grant Report.
The report explained that “income supplementing the Sovereign Grant increased to £21.5 million, driven by a record year for visitors to Buckingham Palace during the Summer Opening and through special tours of the newly reserviced East Wing”.
The wing reportedly “welcomed 10,735 visitors”.
It is clear that the ongoing drama swirling around the palace isn’t putting the breaks on things.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor latest
In recent weeks Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shared that he would stop using his Duke of York title.
Just days later, Buckingham Palace stated that he had been stripped of his ‘style’ of HRH, as well as his title as prince.
Two of his honours were also taken away from him – Knight of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.
Where Andrew would live was also brought into question.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor could be moving to Sandringham
Andrew is reportedly expected to move to Sandringham after his eviction from Royal Lodge, where he will live in a private property on the estate, funded by the king.
Esports Bet currently has Andrew at odds of 10/11 to move to Sandringham when he eventually leaves Royal Lodge.
“Sandringham tops the relocation options for Prince Andrew at odds-on (10/11), reflecting the rumours about a move to a quieter royal estate, while Abu Dhabi and the Caribbean are the likeliest overseas options at 2/1 and 5/1,” Darragh Harbinson, spokesperson for Esports Bets, said.
In the meantime, the king is set to open a magical light show at Sandringham. So, it is clear that the usual festivities haven’t been put on hold.
