On April 9, Charles III and Camilla will celebrate twenty years of marriage. A former member of their staff has revealed a habit that contributes to their harmony…
A royal couple that lasts! As Charles III and Camilla prepare to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, Jack Stooks, a former gardener working for one of the British royals’ residences, has revealed their habits away from the cameras, as revealed by the Daily Express . While the British royal couple spend a lot of time together when honoring their royal engagements, they favor solo moments when they’re in private. The two septuagenarians like to recharge their batteries on their own. King Charles III spends his time between Clarence House and Highgrove House, while the Queen Consort prefers to return to her estate at Ray Mill House.
All to satisfy their different needs. “Charles likes to be alone and has a strong work ethic. He’s been known to work at his desk until dawn. Camilla, on the other hand, has lots of friends and is close to her family. They’re both independent and don’t mind being apart,” detailed Jack Stooks, who operated as head gardener at Highgrove House. For this former close friend, it’s obvious that this habit contributes to the success of their love story. “The fact that they don’t live in each other’s pockets is one of the many reasons their marriage works. They appreciate the time they spend together and the time they spend apart,” he concluded.
King Charles III and Camilla’s attachment to their respective residences: the Ray Mill House case
The Queen Consort is particularly attached to her residence of Ray Mill House, located in Wiltshire, near Bath. At the time of her marriage to Elizabeth II’s son, Camilla always refused to sell her property, which she considers her haven of peace. “At Ray Mill, she can be herself,” say close sources to the Daily Mail. This large property, which she bought for herself after her divorce from her first husband, allows her to relax, far from the hustle and bustle of royal life. And to ensure her eternal tranquility, Charles III recently purchased the neighboring property to choose its inhabitants. A beautiful proof of love.
