Situated in a corner of Carmarthenshire, the sprawling, ancient property was bought by King Charles 15 years ago.

Conservative voters think Rishi Sunak would have made a better prime minister than Liz Truss, new polling for The Telegraph reveals. The survey, on the eve of the Tory conference in Birmingham, shows just a third of those who backed the party in 2019 think she is a good leader. Over half think she has made a bad incumbent in No 10 - almost as high as the number who would say the same about Sir Keir Starmer.
