King Charles has taken decisive action to safeguard Queen Camilla’s peace of mind amid growing concerns over her security.
The monarch, deeply engaged in diplomatic affairs involving the US, UK, and Canada, has reportedly purchased a £3 million property adjacent to Camilla’s country retreat to prevent it from being converted into a commercial venue, a royal source disclosed.
The Old Mill, located next to Camilla’s Raymill home, was on the verge of being turned into a holiday rental and wedding venue, raising significant concerns for the Queen. An insider told DailyMail that the King saw the purchase as an "imperative step" to preserve her privacy and security.
Camilla, who has owned Raymill for three decades, has long considered it her sanctuary. Even after marrying Charles in 2005, she retained the Wiltshire estate, where she finds solace away from royal duties. The move comes at a particularly challenging time, as she navigates the pressures of the past 18 months, including the King's cancer diagnosis.
A source revealed that Camilla was “greatly relieved” by the decision, with friends noting that Raymill remains the one place where she can truly be herself. The purchase was seen as a practical solution to ensure her continued comfort and protection.
