Meanwhile, Charles has been busy recently.

It was revealed he has built a stunning replica of Buckingham Palace in the middle of a “Utopian” village as a way of paying tribute to the Queen Mother.

The building was a touching way to honour his beloved gran.

The building, called Strathmore House, features eight luxury apartments and is built in the village of Poundbury in Dorset.

Strathmore presides over an area called Queen Mother Square, named after Prince Charles’ beloved late grandmother and the ultimate tribute.

The finishing touch to the square is set to be a statue of the Queen Mother herself.
