Buckingham Palace: Now the Queen has moved out people are asking why Ukrainain refugees can’t move in

"At the rate we’re issuing visas it would take a while to fill all the rooms but hey, what an amazing way to celebrate her jubilee."

The 95-year-old monarch reportedly has no plans to live at Buckingham Palace again after two years at Windsor Castle during the pandemic.

It is understood Her Majesty now prefers life at her Berkshire residence.

The monarch previously only spent weekends at Windsor Castle, along with the Easter period and a week for Royal Ascot in June.

So it must be one of the largest empty homes in the UK?

This point hasn’t been missed by a lot of people on Twitter who have wondered why it can’t be sued to house Ukrainain refugees fleeing the invasion of their home county.

Brexiter Tory Steve Baker seemed very happy about the government encouraging people to house refugees. He tweeted: “Pleased to hear that on Monday the Government will lay out plans to allow the public to take Ukrainians into their homes. I know from my conversations in #Wycombe how much the public want to help.”

Would this extend to the monarch though? We doubt he would agree with that…

Pleased to hear that on Monday the Government will lay out plans to allow the public to take Ukrainians into their homes.

I know from my conversations in #Wycombe how much the public want to help.

The Queen's moved out of Buckingham Palace. It has 775 rooms

But no mention of housing refugees there. Or in MPs second homes

And we don't know how many homes multimillionaire Tory Chris Philp has. Previously when asked he said 'Mind your own business'pic.twitter.com/vbGkSIOJfC

Happy to offer my spare room, but maybe we could commandeer Buckingham Palace? No one’s using it 🤷🏼‍♀️ https://t.co/GM5WL0MYO3

"Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms. These include 19 State rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms"
And didn't Queenie mention she's not going to be using it?
Perfect!

755 rooms available at Buckingham Palace, how many being allocated to Ukraine refuges ?

We’re not tweeting this for laughs, but Buckingham Palace would be perfect for homing refugees – nice, central location, lots of space, give the Royal family some great PR! https://t.co/iFQYxocmWQ

Requisition Buckingham palace for sanctuary seekers, no one else is using it. Or maybe all those empty properties in London owned by Russian oligarchs, the sweet sweet irony…. https://t.co/9XcoSfq12f

Soon as every room in Buckingham Palace is full of families, drop me a line and I’ll point you in the direction of all the holiday homes in Wales. https://t.co/RU9WctLuVu
