Selling the former King of Siam's exile territory in the Garden of England for £5.5m.

Prajadhipok, who was educated at Eton, began living in the house in 1937. His reign was accompanied by turmoil in Siam caused by the 1932 revolution, which made him the country's last absolute monarch. Although he continued to be a constitutional monarch, the king eventually abdicated in 1935 due to disagreements with the new regime and moved to England. Despite his abdication, the king retained many royal traditions inherent in his reign. Rumor has it that he stayed on the top floor of the house, in the attic.
