00:01Well, no one should force Charles to know where he doesn't want to live.
00:04So if he doesn't want to live in Buckingham Palace, that's fine by me.
00:06But the issue is that we as taxpayers have paid £359 million for this to be refurbished.
00:13All bells and whistles, all their old bedrooms have been sorted out at great expense and luxuriously.
00:19The estimate went up from £50 million, by the way, but ended up at £369 or £359.
00:25That means that the palace should now be open to the public.
00:28The public should be able to go in the 12 months a year.
00:31And the ticket sales should generate income which goes back to the Treasury to pay for this huge refurbishment that's
00:38just taken place.
00:39Because at the moment, we pay for the refurbishment and the king regards the money he gets from ticket sales
00:45as private.
