King Charles is giving up the Welsh home he spent 40 years searching for, because he wouldn't be able to use it in the same way since taking the throne
Six of the English field maples which formed the avenue of trees at William and Kate's 2011 wedding were later replanted at the Welsh retreat.
The idea was Charles's, and with William and Kate's approval he set them in the soil at the front of the house, along a rustic wooden fence. Clarence House tweeted in 2013: "The trees from the Royal Wedding at Westminster Abbey are thriving at Llwynywermod." The prince has spoken of the "enduring landscape of Wales" and how "its mountains, patchworked fields and woods; its coastline, castles, villages and market towns" play a vital role in attracting visitors.He told Visit Wales: "It certainly cast its spell on me a long time ago."As heir to the throne, the prince is entitled to the annual surplus generated by the Duchy's vast portfolio of land, buildings and financial investments.
