King Charles ‘miffed’ after William charges him to stay at £1.2m Welsh cottage

King Charles has reportedly been told by son Prince William that he must pay to stay as a guest at his Welsh holiday home.

Charles has been told he must stump up cash when staying at the £1.2m cottage that The King painstakingly renovated with the Queen and her sister.

According to The Mail on Sunday the King is said to be “miffed” after William told his father that he plans to rent out the picturesque cottage to holidaymakers.

A royal source said: “The King was quite miffed but that was the deal.

“It means he can continue to stay there but he will pay rent to the Duchy and the rest of the time it will be rented out.

“The King has agreed to pay for the topiary upkeep as he doesn't want to see all the good work in the grounds go to waste.”

The property, Llwynywermod, on the outskirts of the Brecon Beacons National Park, was bought through the Duchy of Cornwall, which William took over following the late Queen's death last year.

Charles spends a week or two at Llwynywermod each summer, but William has not renewed his father's lease.

After September, it will be available for hire as a holiday home.

The three-bedroom house includes a barn attached to the main house and is set in 192 acres of rolling countryside.

Three nearby properties owned by the Duchy are already let out with the three-bedroom North Range cottage priced at £2,400 a week.

Charles had restored Llwynywermod with the help of architect Craig Hamilton.

Interiors were done by Queen Camilla's sister, Annabel Elliot.

The renovated barn which serves as a dining room for up to 16 guests and boasts a huge new east window. The custom-made carpets are based on an 18th Century Welsh blanket design.

In line with the King's wishes that the building is sustainable, a wood-chip boiler provides heating and hot water to the entire estate. Outside there is storage for rainwater.

The King has agreed to continue to pay for the upkeep of the property, including the cost of hiring the two topiary experts to maintain the manicured trees and shrubs in the grounds.

Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.
