BUCKINGHAM Palace is to open its doors to the public more than ever in history during the reign of King Charles III.
The King wants the stately home — undergoing a £369million renovation — to be more “inclusive” to the public, The Sun can reveal.
There will be an increase in receptions for ordinary people and events for public figures.
It comes after the King, left, has already held four huge events welcoming around 1,200 people since the start of his reign.
Plans to host Strictly Come Dancing in the palace ballroom have been dropped but there are still hopes the idea could be revisited next year.
A palace source said of the proposal: “That is still on the table and a clear indication of how ambitiously they are thinking.”

Officials are even looking at extending the ten-week-long summer opening for tourists to the State Rooms.
The Sun revealed last month that the King and Queen Consort will not move into Buckingham Palace for at least five years due to the renovation work.
The source added: “The King sees the palace as somewhere that should be more open to the public and particularly to celebrate national events, not as a mausoleum.
“The King and Queen Consort both like the idea that more members of the British public are involved.”
A spokesman for the King did not want to comment.
