Prince Charles’ Duchy of Cornwall carried out a ‘major refurbishment’ of a cottage for £340,000
PRINCE Charles’ estate spent £340,000 refurbishing a cottage on the Isles of Scilly, its accounts reveal.
The Duchy of Cornwall published its financial report yesterday.
Myrtle Cottage was completely overhauled with a new kitchen, bathroom and slate roof.
The Duchy met the cost rather than public funds.
The building had been used as holiday accommodation — but could now “be let to a local St Agnes family from this community where housing is much in demand”, the report said.
New tenant Janet Stewart said that she had waited 11 years for a family house to become available, and moved in last August.
She said: “The children have a bedroom each, and we unpacked belongings we haven’t seen in a decade.”
We yesterday revealed how Sovereign Grant figures showed taxpayers spent £2.4million renovating Frogmore Cottage in Windsor for Prince Harry and Meghan.
