Great to see these, Tatty. 

Clarence House is a cosy residence.  I like it.
I'm pleased to see that it will be fitted with solar panels.  
Perhaps if they prove a success the panels might be installed on other nearby rooves.

I know you do    

Thanks Cloaked   - I actually think that the decor makes Clarence House feels a little cold, it probably isn't but that's just the impression I get.

I am assuming that the interior shots of Clarence House show furnishings that were to the taste of the late Queen Mother. One would hope they get a more contemporary, less cluttered look when the Cambridge duet moves in.  Eeeew, way too much stuff!

What a great lot of photos! Thank you so much for posting these!

They could be photos from when The Queen Mother lived there, though I imagine not all photos are the same age.?  
Clarence House is the residence of Charles and Camilla.
I like that it is full of memorabilia.  It looks lived in - with the paintings hung low - it's more homely.
St James Palace, while being perfect for a reception area and business meetings, appears cold and stark to me.  Public spaces need to be uncluttered where-as a home can afford a more unfashionable personality.

The Cambridges will move into Princess Margaret's refurbished apartment in Kensington Palace but I think that their offices are now in St James Palace.
