    According to The Sun, the 74-year-old royal plans to make the Buckingham Palace more "inclusive" to the public, and plans to open the doors to the nation in the future.

    While plans to host Strictly Come Dancing at Buckingham Palace hasn't quite planned out, they have high hopes their dreams could be revisited next year. 

    Speaking previously, a palace source said: "That is still on the table and a clear indication of how ambitiously they are thinking.”
