His Majesty has a special association with Poundbury. Built on Duchy of Cornwall land just outside Dorchester with The King's involvement, it was designed according to the principles of architecture and urban planning laid out in his book 'A Vision of Britain'. Poundbury is currently home to 4,600 people with a mix of private and affordable housing. It also provides employment for more than 2,500 people working in more than 250 shops, cafes, offices, and factories.
Nearby to Monaveen House is The Duke of Edinburgh Garden which forms part of Pavilion Green. The Duke of Edinburgh bronze bust is situated within the garden, one of the many fine green and public spaces.

The Duchy estate now passes to Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales.
