Charles returns to Highgrove home 'to reflect' after first few days as King, while Camilla goes to her Wiltshire estate
King Charles III will not attend any public events today. His return to Highgrove was laid out in the detailed planning for the aftermath of the Queen’s death – known as operation ‘London Bridge’. The day was set aside for the King to have some time away after a heavy week of ceremonial duties.
This will give the King time to grieve personally, which he has so far set aside to take part in the many ceremonies up and down the country since the death of his mother and his ascension to the throne. Charles bought Highgrove House in 1980, purchasing it from then MP Maurice Macmillan, the son of former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.Camilla, the Queen Consort, has retreated to her own home, Ray Mill House, near Lacock in Wiltshire. It is understood that this is the first time the King and Queen Consort have been apart form one another since the death of the Queen.
The King will still receive his red box of state papers whilst at Highgrove. This is the box containing important documents to brief the King on government business, policy papers, Foreign Office telegrams, and parliamentary business. Some of these documents also need the King’s sign off.The new monarch has travelled more than 1,500 miles around the country in the past few days.
