Highgrove House

Highgrove House is the stunning Cotswolds retreat King Charles and Camilla the Queen Consort use as their second home. The property was built between 1796 and 1798 and is believed to have been designed by the architect Anthony Keck. The house suffered severe damage in 1893 when a fire broke out. It was rebuilt to its previous glory by Bristol architect John Hart.  The nine-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion has three storeys and a swimming pool that was gifted to the royal family from the Royal Army after Princess Diana and the Prince of Wales wedding.

The home was owned by various families until it was purchased by the King Charles III and the Queen Consort in 1980. In 1987, Prince Charles remodelled the home and grounds, but it retains its original Georgian style. Princess Diana spent a lot of time with her sons and husband at this property at the beginning of their marriage.

Highgrove House is southwest of Tetbury in Gloucestershire, England. This is the country home of King Charles III and the Queen Consort who also have a primary residence in London. Tetbury is a wealthy town inside the Cotswolds district. The area is filled with old buildings and a rich English history. There are many cobbled stone streets and unique boutique shops and restaurants.

The home is located close to the Duchy Home Farm. This farm is part of the gardens belonging to the royal residency and the Prince of Wales himself made the farm organic in 1985. At the time, Prince Charles was credited for using ‘pioneering agriculture techniques’ to create the organic produce. The food from these farms is still sold in selected UK supermarkets like Waitrose.

Highgrove House is the home of the King Charles III and the Queen Consort . The royal couple who were married in 2005 and have lived used Highgrove House as their country home since then. Their main residence is Clarence House in London. The home is a large royal residence on the Mall just a short walk from Buckingham Palace. However, the couple has been using Highgrove House as their main residence during the Pandemic.  Prince Harry and William also spent time at this royal residence as children when their parents, the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana were still married.
