12 July 2024 Punjab Khabarnama : King Charles III has reportedly purchased a luxury condo in New York City for $6.63 million, making waves on Billionaires’ Row in Manhattan. This condo, situated at 111 W. 57th St. in the Steinway Hall section, marks the final sale in this iconic building. The transaction was finalised in June, as per city records. This move is notable given that Prince Harry, now residing in the US, will be living just hours away from his father’s new, amenity-rich home, bridging the distance across the Atlantic.
King Charles invests in $6.63M condo
An entity connected to the UK’s monarch seems to have snagged a 3,600-square-foot fancy apartment. The person who paid for it is mentioned in the closing papers as “His Majesty the King in Right of Canada, represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs,” as per NY Post. Robert McCubbing, whose LinkedIn mentions him as the leading trade commissioner and the chief of trade and investment at the Canadian Consulate General in New York, signed the documents.
However, it is currently unclear who will reside in the apartment or if the King himself plans to use it. Buckingham Palace has not provided any clarification despite requests by the outlet. The purchase of this three-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom condo coincides with rumours about the King’s potential visit to America. While no official confirmation has been made for the same, multiple reports and expert opinions suggest that such plans might be in the works.
