Introducing Prince Charles And Camilla's Stunning Country Home: Inside Highgrove House

Oct 08, 2020

We've always known that the royal family of England has lived on a completely different level, but to see it is another story. Some may know that Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, live primarily in Clarence House in London. However, their country home in nearby Gloucestershire is equally jaw-dropping in its opulence and refinement. 

Recently, people from all over the world got the chance to see this palatial estate through a video tour — and documentaries like this one also do a good job of introducing the estate. The results are that many viewers are able to see the beauty and splendor of this home for the first time. With its picturesque beauty and impressive features, Highgrove House has captured the imagination of many folks — not only for its beauty but for its history with the royals.

Highgrove House has become known for its gorgeous gardens and has been the property of Prince Charles since 1980, according to Highgrove's website. He bought the property and lived there with Princess Diana and their two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry when they were young. In addition to the luscious gardens, this house boasts nine bedrooms and six bathrooms.

While it may affectionately be called a country home, it is truly a mansion fit for future kings. Currently, Prince Charles does still spend time there with his new wife, Camilla. The famous gardens are now open to the public with strict social distancing measures in place, according to Highgrove's website.

When Prince Charles and his family moved into Highgrove House in 1980, they came in with a plan to make it their own. Pictures released of the residence before the royals moved in reveal that one of the living rooms had a sofa surrounded by several armchairs, a wooden chest, and several lamps. The whole room was tied together with a floral theme.

After purchasing the home, Prince Charles made sure to fill up the space. In one photo, the future king is seen sitting on a cream-colored sofa, surrounded by a couple of dark chestnut tables. There are framed photos on the tables and artwork adorns the walls. The prince has cream-colored curtains surrounding the gorgeous window in the room. This living room got a splash of life with a vibrant houseplant sitting next to that same window.

As mentioned above, Highgrove House is quite well known for its opulent gardens and grounds. After the country home was purchased by Prince Charles, the family spent a lot of time enjoying the land. One adorable photo shows a toddler-aged Prince Harry spending time with his mother, Princess Diana, and a Shetland pony. Prince William and Prince Harry also spent time with their mother on the slide. Overall, it looks like Highgrove House holds many great memories for the royal family.

When one looks at these photos and the video tour, it is hard not to marvel at the beauty of this home. It is also easy to see all the happy times that were enjoyed by the royals at Highgrove House.
