When he ascended the throne, King Charles inherited a wealth of palaces, castles and estates, giving him an abundance of homes to choose from when it comes to deciding where to live.
The Monarch has three official residences - Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse - but there are other, lesser-known properties in his portfolio too.
Charles had six homes dotted around the UK before his accession, stretching up to Scotland and all the way down to the Isles of Scilly.
One is a bit further afield - specifically, a vibrant farmhouse located in the rural village of Viscri, Transylvania.
While it is not known exactly where King Charles and Queen Camilla plan to live after their Coronation, it has been suggested that they will move to Buckingham Palace once its refurbishment is complete in around four years.
But much like his mother, Charles reportedly does not enjoy residing there and has for decades split his time between Clarence House in London and Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
Previous sources claim that, for this reason, he may opt to not live there permanently,but simply use it for royal business such as official appointments, receptions and state banquets.
Here, we look at some of the spectacular places in King Charles' property portfolio.
Clarence House
As well as being their London home, Clarence House is also Charles and Camilla's official residence and the home of their offices.
The townhouse, which is not currently open to visitors, was built by John Nash between 1825-27 for George III’s third son, the Duke of Clarence.
It was also home to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, for nearly five decades.
Following Charles' accession, there was a shake-up with members of staff as dozens were given notice of the threat of redundancy, reported The Guardian.
Private secretaries, the finance office, the communications team and other loyal household employees were among those who received the letter.
A Clarence House spokesman said at the time: "Following last week's Accession, the operations of the Household of the former Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have ceased and, as required by law, a consultation process has begun.
"Our staff have given long and loyal service and, while some redundancies will be unavoidable, we are working urgently to identify alternative roles for the greatest possible number of staff."
Highgrove House
Highgrove in the Cotswolds has a special meaning to the monarch, and is said to be one of his favourite places to stay.
The home is located near Tetbury and Westonbirt Arboretum, which is close to Worcestershire down the M5.
It is where the new King spends his time forgetting about royal duties and losing himself among seedlings, trees and even his own private fairytale cottage.
The stately home was purchased in 1980 when Charles was still the Prince of Wales, and it soon became the marital home of the future King and Princess Diana.
It boasts exquisite interiors by Robert Kime (who also decorated rooms at Clarence House) and sustainable practices including solar panels and a natural sewage filtering system.
Highgrove was initially occupied at weekends by Charles, Diana and their two children, Prince William and Prince Harry, who spent a majority of their childhoods at the house.
However, Diana grew to detest the home as she felt like going there was "a return to prison".
Years later, the nine-bedroom mansion became the preferred home for Charles and Camilla, for when they are spending time outside of London.
Ray Mill House
Camilla's lavish mansion boasts an outdoor swimming pool and a river - but King Charles reportedly hates it.
After divorcing Andrew Parker Bowles, Camilla lived at Ray Mill from 1996 to 2003.
Her home - bought for £850,000 in 1994 - served as the backdrop for photos Princess Kate took to mark her 75th birthday in July last year.
And despite having access to many such homes, it is said Camilla loves to sneak off to her private Ray Mill retreat.
Meanwhile, it is said not to be to the tastes of the King, whose Cotswold home is only 15 minutes away.
A source previously told Daily Express: "At Ray Mill, she can sit down with a big G&T, kick off her shoes and watch Coronation Street, which Charles loathes.
"She also doesn’t have to bother about how the place looks – Charles is so fussy about tidiness, while she leaves her stuff all over the place."
The residence comes with acres of gardens, stables, an outdoor swimming pool and an elegant terrace.
Dumfries House
In 2007, Charles and his charity The Prince's Foundation purchased Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland.
The estate stretches out over an expansive 2,000 acres and boasts a stunning 18th-century house and adventure playground.
Unlike other royal homes, the estate is not intended as a residence for Charles and Camilla.
Instead, it is used for a range of education and training opportunities and is open to the public all year round.
The King is credited with “saving” the estate from disrepair, with restaurants and accommodation, as well as walking trails, open to the public.
In 2014, Queen Elizabeth visited Dumfries House for the first time to open a walled garden that was named in her honour.
Visitors are asked to put £3 in an honesty box to visit the garden.
The estate’s B&B has 22 bedrooms and prices start at £190 per room per night, according to the website.
Blue House
King Charles bought the Blue House in Transylvania, Romania in 2006 after falling in love with the area during an official visit in 1998.
The vibrant farmhouse is located in the rural village Viscri and is open to the public when he is not in residence.
The King typically spends a couple of days each year in the country and can be regularly spotted meeting the locals and going for hikes.
The house itself features seven bedrooms and has no radios or televisions inside in order to create a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Rooms at the Blue House cost around £100 a night and they are all furnished with antique Transylvanian furniture. Designers maintained the cottage’s authenticity by carefully restoring it with traditional methods and materials.
In addition to the seven en-suite bedrooms, the property features a drawing room, a dining room, a sitting room, a large kitchen and an outdoor breakfast barn which contains an impressive bread oven.
His Majesty's love of Transylvania is in part due to the harmony of local people and nature that can be found in Romania.
In a docuseries titled Wild Carpathia, Charles said: "It’s the timelessness of it which is so remarkable, almost out of some of those stories one used to read as a child. It’s quite remarkable.
"People are yearning for that sense of belonging and identity and meaning."
Tamarisk House
Just a five-minute walk from local amenities, Tamarisk boasts two bedrooms on the ground floor with sea views, along with a family bathroom, sleeping up to eight.
The four-bedroom property is largely hidden from view by tamarisk trees to protect the royals' privacy.
On the first floor, a twin bedroom can be found with an en suite shower room and a master bedroom.
Stunning views of St Mary's, the largest and most populous of the Isles of Scilly, can be enjoyed from the living room by a wood burner, or outside on the sun terrace.
The island itself, which measures just two-and-a-half miles by one mile, is home to around 150 residents, and, thanks to its position in the Gulf Stream, enjoys a sub-tropical climate.
Despite the Duchy of Cornwall being the ultimate owners of the island, the lease is held by King Charles' friends, Robert Dorrien-Smith and his wife Lucy, who are its guardians.
The cottage - which has wifi, hi-fi, smart TVs and a well-equipped kitchen - is available to book to the public, with prices ranging from £1,315 to £5,295 for a seven-night stay, depending on when you visit.
The Castle of Mey
Charles was left an impressive property portfolio when his grandmother, The Queen Mother, passed away at the age of 101 in 2002.
Among these homes was the Castle of Mey in Northern Scotland which was reportedly bought for less than £100.
The castle is situated in Caithness on the northern coast of Scotland. It is a four-and-a-half-hour journey from another of the Royal Family’s Scottish residences, Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire.
It was built between 1566 and 1572 on the lands of Mey which belonged to the Bishops of Caithness.
But then it was purchased by the recently widowed Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother in 1952, following the death of her husband King George VI on February 6 of the same year.
She brought the castle up to date by adding electricity and freshwater supplies.
The library was used as her private sitting room in later life and she was known to watch her favourite British comedies Fawlty Towers and Dad’s Army there.
The building was gifted to the Queen Elizabeth Castle of Mey Trust, and is open to the public between May and September every year.
Llwynywermod
Charles and Camilla's most sustainable property is Llwynywermod, the royal estate which is set in the village of Myddfai, Carmarthenshire, close to the scenic Brecon Beacons.
Llwynywermod is a huge farm which includes multiple buildings and was bought by Prince Charles back in 2007, reportedly costing him £1.2 million.
The estate boasts an impressive three cottages, a Grade II-listed barn, the main house and plenty of land.
Since buying the property, Prince Charles has personally overseen the developments, ensuring it was as sustainable as possible, reports say.
For the renovation, Charles reused materials such as locally sourced Welsh slate and lime plaster and hired local labourers to transform the home into a 'sustainable haven'.
All of the farm's heating and hot water comes from a wood-chip boiler and there is even a tank for rainwater storage.
The home has perfectly landscaped gardens at its front and back with plenty of vegetable patches for growing fresh produce. Their main reception room has huge ceilings with all of its original features such as wooden beams kept exposed.
Inside there are plenty of traditional log fireplaces and burners, and the furniture all compliments the classic design of the farmhouse.
The majority of the property's furnishings are also made from dark wood to match the original features.
