Queen Camilla Retreats to Wiltshire Country Home Weekly

King Charles and Queen Camilla, celebrating nearly 20 years of marriage, reportedly spend significant time apart, with Camilla frequently retreating to her countryside home, Ray Mill, in Wiltshire each weekend. Royal biographer Ingrid Seward noted that this home serves as a personal sanctuary for Camilla, allowing her to relax away from royal duties and enjoy time with her grandchildren. She often unwinds with a gin and tonic while watching shows like Coronation Street, which King Charles dislikes. The couple typically resides together during the week at Clarence House, while Charles often stays at Highgrove or Sandringham during Camilla's weekends away. Recently, King Charles purchased the neighboring property, Old Mill, for £3 million to maintain the tranquility of Camilla's retreat. This purchase underscores the importance of Ray Mill as a space where Camilla can be herself, away from the constraints of royal life.
