If you've ever dreamed of having a royal wedding—you now have the chance.
As of 2027, King Charles is renting out one of his properties, Dumfries House, for "high-end, luxury weddings and private events."
Money from the events will go towards Charles's The King's Foundation, a charity he established over 35 years ago.
Not all of us can have a right royal wedding—but it'll soon be easier to have one that is more royally adjacent than before.
King Charlesis set to host "luxury weddings" at Dumfries House, a Scottish estate of the King's, with the profits of each event financing his charity work. PerThe Telegraph, interested parties can expect to pay roughly $6,735 to get married midweek at The King's Hall, named in honor of Charles; the price will rise to $11,450 to get married on the weekends, not including catering.
Charles's charity The King's Foundation, set up by the then-Prince of Wales over 35 years ago, said it wants to become the "go-to venue for high-end, luxury weddings and private events," both nationally and internationally, according toThe Telegraph.
The event space is set to open in 2027, and, as a nod to Charles's interest in environmentalism, "menus will be made up of organic food and locally-sourced produce,"The Telegraphreported. The King's Hall is expected to seat up to 200 guests.
Dumfries House was built between 1754 and 1759, and it was bought for The King's Foundation—with Charles's help—in 2007. The space is expected to host five or six large-scale events each week after an extension on the current space is completed, which should be in time for The King's Hall's first events to take place in July 2027.
"For many couples, it will be the closest they will ever come to a royal wedding, albeit without the chance to kiss on the Buckingham Palace balcony,"The Timesreported.
"The King's Hall will offer the intimacy, atmosphere, and historic grandeur that guests have come to associate with events and special occasions at Dumfries House," the property's general manager Evan Samson toldThe Times. Gordon Neil, the executive director of The King's Foundation, described the opportunity as "an exciting chapter in the journey of Dumfries House."
Anyone who wants to get a glimpse of the King's work at Dumfries House—and scout the venue a little more—can check out the forthcoming Amazon Prime documentaryFinding Harmony: A King's Vision, which is narrated by none other thanKate Winslet.
