King Charles And Queen Camilla Reportedly Have Separate Bedrooms
There are actually quite a few rules the King and Queen Consort have in their marriage, if we are to believe reports, but we think this one particular rule might be the most interesting: they have their own bedrooms!
Speaking about their successful and very loving relationship, British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital: "They have sussed out the best sleeping arrangements. At Clarence House, they are privileged to have their own bedrooms as well as their shared bedroom." Genius!
Apparently having separate bedroom rooms, in addition to their shared bedroom, is only the beginning. Chard went on to reveal that King Charles and Queen Camilla are very fond of their independence, and enjoy alone time in separate homes too! The more you know!
Chard explained: "They are both independent people. They don't live in each other's pockets, spending a healthy chunk of their time apart in their country homes."
She added: "Camilla enjoys time with her many friends and family and Charles values private work and creative time."
King Charles Purchases The House Next Door To Queen Camilla's Wiltshire Vacation Home
Now we understand why King Charles was so keen to ensure Queen Camilla's vacation home in Wiltshire remained peaceful for her!
If you recall, King Charles recently faced some backlash after it was revealed that he had spent over $3M buying the house next door to Queen Camilla's Ray Mill House in the village of Lacock, Wiltshire, so that it wouldn't be purchased by someone else and turned into a wedding rental.
Queen Camilla has owned the home since 1995, and reportedly goes there to spend quiet time by herself or with loved ones. Speaking about King Charles' decision to buy the house next door, an insider told The Mirror at the time: "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."
They added: "I know how grateful and relieved she is, not least given all the additional stresses and anxieties of the past year."
