Inside Queen Camilla's £850k Wiltshire home she owns alone - see photos
King Charles III and Queen Camilla spend most of their time at their official royal residence, Clarence House, in the heart of central London. What's more, the monarchs also enjoy spending time at their country retreat, Highgrove, in Tetbury Gloucestershire.
But did you know that Queen Camilla owns property of her own accord? Located in the sprawling countryside in Wiltshire, the Queen has owned the gorgeous mansion since the early nineties and was even the place where the monarch retreated to following a week of national mourning after Queen Elizabeth II's death. The royal couple left London via helicopter after their procession through the capital in September 2022, but while Charles travelled on to his Highgrove Estate, Camilla reportedly stayed at her own private home, Ray Mill House.
The Queen bought the beautiful Wiltshire residence following her split from her first husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, in 1994. She lived there between 1996 and 2003, and kept it as a country base when required. It even served as the backdrop for her 75th birthday portraits shot by Princess Kate earlier this year. Take a look around the grand home…
With luxurious features including an outdoor swimming pool, stables for her horses, and large gardens with a river, we can see why the Queen Consort's daughter Laura chose to host her wedding reception at the property when she married Harry Lopes in 2006.
