His Majesty took over the running of the Sandringham estate in 2017
His Majesty, who took over maintenance of Sandringham in 2017, has applied for planning permission to install around 2,000 solar panels on horse grazing paddocks in a bid to provide zero-carbon energy for his sprawling estate which spans 20,000 acres.The plans lodged with King's Lynn and West Norfolk Council claim the solar farm will "meet current and predicted future electricity demands of the Sandringham Estate".
The 18th-century home underwent £1.5million worth of refurbishments, including the addition of a conservatory, a rerouted driveway, and completely overhauled interiors with the help of designer Ben Pentreath. Richard Gledson, factor at Balmoral Estate, said: "Historically, we were so tidy minded. If a tree fell into the river, you'd be told to take it out. But times have changed, and King Charles was quickly convinced of the plan's potential benefits.Charles, William and Harry by The River Dee on the Balmoral Castle Estate in August 1997
