King Charles faces local uprising after crime spree leaves subjects rebelling against his rule against protecting their homes

Get the Full StoryLocals in a small town developed by King Charles are planning to rebel against strict rules banning the use of CCTV cameras, following a spate of break-ins throughout the English seaside community. For context, the suburb of Nansledan, located in Cornwall, England, was developed and overseen by the monarch while he was still the Duke of Cornwall, and binds residents to a 38-page covenant forbidding external changes to their homes. Among the 85 rules enforced to maintain the King s vision of Nansledan is the prohibition of washing lines, drain pipes and satellite dishes, as well as bans on the installation of CCTV cameras on a given house s facade.

Kelly Moss, owner of the beauty salon, said police advised her to install security cameras regardless of the city s rules, after a thief targeted her business and damaged its door during a failed burglary earlier this week. Moss said authorities will be suggesting to the Duchy the territory of a Duke that residents be allowed to install CCTV cameras despite the covenant. Police suggested I should as other businesses should install CCTV regardless of the Duchy rules, Moss wrote in a Facebook post per Daily Mail . In the same social media group, the resident disturbed by an intruder said a man was in our house while I was in the shower, but that she scared him off before she reported the incident on Facebook.

I can t see how the Duchy can put in a rule that doesn t allow us to improve our security, one homeowner wrote, with another adding sod the rules and urging others to protect yourself and your home. Currently, only doorbell cameras are permitted in Nansledan s covenant, which includes laws that are enforceable by the Duchy. It s said that the rules which also restricted ball games and even noisy arguments were instituted by the Duchy, and not by King Charles himself. Development first began on Nansledan in 2014 and is expected to continue until 2025. The early stages of development were overseen by King Charles, but responsibility has since fallen to Prince William following the former s ascension to the throne in 2022.

It s not the first time residencies operated by the Royal Family have been subject to rule changes. In October, reports swirled that King Charles was looking to rent out a section of the family s Balmoral Palace the favorite of Queen Elizabeth to the general public for use as a wedding venue. Elsewhere, Charles came under fire after evicting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their long-running residence in Frogmore Cottage, within the Windsor estate. It was home to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wedding celebrations, and was the site where their daughter, Lilibet, celebrated her first birthday.
