King Charles’ country home is a short drive from Camilla’s bolthole

Since the Queen died on September 8, King Charles has been adapting to his new role as monarch. By his side is the new Queen Consort Camilla, and both have private residences in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire that they can return to when they need some respite from royal life.As monarch, many would expect King Charles to move into Buckingham Palace, the traditional royal headquarters in London.But while renovations are ongoing at the palace, it is thought Charles will continue to call Clarence House his home in the capital for the time being.Since the Queen died, Charles has also spent time at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, his private residence which belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall.Surrounded by lush gardens he designed himself, Highgrove has held a special place in Charles’ heart since the 1980s.READ MORE: Prince Harry ‘not pleased’ with Meghan’s ‘clingy’ behaviour King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla’s private residence is Highgrove House (Image: GETTY) Highgrove House is located in Gloucestershire (Image: GETTY)Where is Highgrove House?Highgrove House is located near Tetbury in Gloucestershire, not far from Princess Anne’s home of Gatcombe Park.Charles lived at Highgrove with his late first wife Princess Diana, and their sons Prince William and Prince Harry grew up at the property.Highgrove is now Charles and Camilla’s family home, and it boasts four reception rooms and nine main bedrooms.DON’T MISS:Queen Elizabeth II’s touching handwritten letter to William [INSIGHT]King ‘regrets’ forcing William and Harry to walk behind Diana’s coffin [ANALYSIS]Camilla and Anne hint at ‘bonding’ in stunning new royal photo [PICTURES] Ray Mill House is located in Wiltshire (Image: David Jones/PA Archive/PA Images) UK royal residences mapped (Image: EXPRESS)Camilla told Monty Don in an interview with Country Life: “It is my refuge, the one place where I can be completely relaxed on my own terms.”Ray Mill also has a swimming pool, horse stables and an idyllic terrace.The beautiful residence was used by Camilla’s daughter Laura Lopes for her wedding reception in 2006.Kate, Princess of Wales also took pictures of Camilla at the residence to mark her 75th birthday earlier this year.
