Since their marriage 20 years ago – and arguably during the three decades prior to that historic event – Queen Camilla has proved to be a grounding influence on King Charles, supporting him both privately and publicly, as he carries out his royal duties. Never has that support been more crucial than over the past few years – an unprecedented period in royal history that has seen the House of Windsor rocked by one major blow after another.

The building currently overlooks the home Camilla purchased 30 years ago following her divorce from Andrew Parker-Bowles.“The new arrangement is a pragmatic solution, being both a sound financial investment and a way of maintaining Her Majesty’s privacy, protection and continued enjoyment of her much-loved home, without any public funds being used,” a royal source told the Mail.Camilla, 77, is “grateful and relieved” that her husband intervened, the source adds.While Camilla has rarely returned to her Wiltshire home since becoming queen, she previously used the property as her quiet oasis when retreating from the spotlight.
