Royal couple’s unique arrangement to keep love alive comes to light during Italian tour
As King Charles and Queen Camilla prepare to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary this week, a personal detail about their relationship has come to light — one that insiders say has helped keep their bond strong over two decades.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple maintain a long-standing tradition of spending regular time apart. The King frequently retreats to Highgrove in Gloucestershire, while Queen Camilla enjoys solitude at her private residence, Ray Mill House in Wiltshire.
Close friends describe the arrangement as “quaintly old-fashioned” in a distinctly aristocratic way, noting that the personal space has helped preserve their connection. “He is always entertaining her, making her laugh as they wait to go out in public,” a source revealed. “She rolls her eyes and lets him get on with it — but they’re so affectionate when you see them alone. Their love is still very much alive.”
The royal couple, who married in 2005, will mark their anniversary on Wednesday while on their official tour of Italy, underscoring both their public duty and enduring private bond.
