Queen Camilla Retains Personal Retreat Amid Royal Duties
Queen Camilla, married to King Charles for 21 years, maintains a personal retreat at Ray Mill House, a property she owned before joining the Royal Family. This arrangement allows her to spend weekends away from royal duties, focusing on personal time with her children and grandchildren. The decision to keep Ray Mill House, located near Lacock, was significant for Camilla, as it provides a space for relaxation and family gatherings. Despite the potential security and cost implications, Camilla insisted on retaining the property, highlighting its importance to her personal life. King Charles, meanwhile, spends his weekends at Highgrove House, about 30 minutes away, where he engages in gardening and other personal activities.
