The inside of Highgrove House is not open to the public. Therefore there aren't a lot of images that show how Camilla and Charles have decorated the property. However, now and then fans can catch glimpses of the interior from their Instagram page. In Andrew Morton's biography of the Princess of Wales,'Diana: Her true story - in her own words,' Andrew claims that the Prince of Wales asked Diana to be involved in the interior design of the property.
The biographer writes, "During that first weekend Prince Charles showed Diana around Highgrove, the acre Gloucestershire home he had bought in July—the same month he had started to woo her.
He liked her taste though she felt that it was a 'most improper' suggestion as they were not even engaged. A post shared by Highgrove Royal Gardens highgrovegarden. This includes a variety of royal estates across the UK. It was estimated in by energyhelpline. Laura dabbles in lifestyle, royal, beauty and fashion news, and her favourite stories to cover as anything and everything to do with television and film.
She is also passionate about feminism and equality and loves writing about gender issues and feminist literature. Laura loves drinking and eating and can often be found trying to get reservations at London's trendiest restaurants. When she's not wining and dining, Laura can also be found travelling, baking, and hiking with her dog. While the interiors are quite divine, it's the grounds that are beyond captivating.
Outside, visitors will find a swimming pool, a tennis court, a treehouse, guest lodging, cottages for the staff, a stable, farm buildings, and an array of formal and informal gardens across 80 acres of lush farmland. Inside, the home has a reception hall, a drawing room, wine storage, and eight bedrooms.
Dark oak paneling, large open fireplaces, as well as ornate carved staircases can be spotted throughout. The home is estimated to be about years old.
The Daily Mail reports that Camilla believed the property was haunted, but not in a way that made her felt endangered in her home. She become aware of the apparition's presence when she was watching TV and the ghost would sit beside her and change the channels.
The given wisdom that she 'likes to spend time' at Raymill explains little. It is, in fact, a gross over-simplification of a complicated situation that is based on the central theme that being the Prince of Wales's mistress is one thing, but being married to him is quite another.
Suddenly, two people who had been quite happy as lovers and then as partners, while continuing to lead fairly independent lives - both of whom had always understood that marriage was out of the question - now found themselves being advised to marry.
And in April , they did. As marriages go, it is a successful one. But the independence which both Charles and Camilla had enjoyed was always going to be compromised. That is precisely why Camilla insisted on keeping Raymill, and why Charles agreed.
For a start, Camilla knew that she would need to get away - and get away as often as possible - from the restricted and highly ordered royal life that he leads at Highgrove and in his other homes. In particular Camilla, renowned for her domestic untidyness, would need to escape from Charles's obsessional neatness, especially over where and how certain things are placed around his homes.
Fortunately, this fitted in perfectly with her other deep need, according to friends, to spend 'a couple of days a week with her family'. The best place to do this is Raymill which her children Tom and Laura still see as the 'family home', and where she has long chats with her happily married, younger sister Annabel.
Slipping away to Raymill so often also has the effect, it is murmured in some royal circles, of making sure that Charles never takes Camilla for granted. Remember, it was in a blazing exchange over Camilla at Highgrove when Charles and Diana were still together, that he rounded on his wife, exclaiming: 'Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress? Diana, young, naive, inexperienced and still harbouring a romantic ideal of marriage, was stunned by the question.
They are said in recent times to have focused on her rather light work-load and his anger is mainly directed at those who criticise her for not working harder in carrying out more official duties. But the 'mistress' quote still resonates around the prince. Certainly, Camilla would have been well aware that, even while she was cuckolding her husband with Charles, she was the principal - but by no means the only - mistress in his life.
Old Etonian banker Lord Tryon's voluptuous Australian-born wife Dale, for example, was often visited by Charles making what she used to call a 'comfort stop' on his way home to Highgrove. As the shadowy mistress of a married man, Camilla could have no complaints. But as the wife - and now in her 60th year - things are markedly very different, especially as Charles is perceived in a broadly similar light to the late billionaire Sir James Goldsmith, who always had a mistress in addition to a wife and who famously declared: 'When you marry your mistress you create a job vacancy.
