Duchess Camilla's £850k break up mansion she still owns – see inside

The Duchess of Cornwall purchased a stunning Wiltshire mansion after divorcing her first husband Andrew Parker Bowles in 1994, and she lived there from 1996 to 2003.

The sprawling property, known as Ray Mill House, set her back £850,000 and it's located just a 15-minute drive away from Highgrove House, the country home she now shares with Prince Charles.

Camilla has chosen to keep the property and she continues to use it as a Wiltshire base when required and she even used it as a backdrop for her 75th birthday portraits shot by the Duchess of Cambridge. Take a look around the grand home…
