Prince William 'tells King Charles he'll have to pay to stay at holiday home in Wales'
The King - who has previously called the £1.2m cottage a "godsend" that he bought "40 years too late" - is said to be 'miffed' at the decision.
Prince William has reportedly told his father, King Charles, that he will have to pay if wants to stay at his much-loved holiday home in Wales.
The monarch has stayed at Llwynywermod, near the Brecon Beacons National park, for a few weeks every summer after buying the £1.2m rural property in 2007. However, the quaint cottage was bought through the Duchy of Cornwall - so Prince William has now taken over its management
And the Prince of Wales has reportedly now told the king he intends to let the charming cottage out as a holiday home. Consequently, Charles will have to move his belongings out of the three-bedroomed home.
The King - who has previously called the cottage a "godsend" that he bought "40 years too late" - is said to be 'miffed' at the decision.
A source told the Mail on Sunday : “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.”
Back in 2021, the King said of Llwynywermod: "Rather 40 years too late, probably. But it's been a wonderful opportunity, at last, to have somewhere in Wales. I come whenever I can... I've always felt that it's an important part of holding this particular title."

"It took me years to establish somewhere, it wasn't through want of trying but it was difficult to find the right place.
"I used to go to different other houses which was very kind of people to lend them for a week or something, but it wasn't the same thing obviously until finally we found this, which has been a Godsend really."
The King has a deep love for what he has previously called the "enduring landscape of Wales" and remarked on how "its mountains, patchworked fields and woods; its coastline, castles, villages and market towns" attract visitors.
