Camilla bought Ray Mill House in Wiltshire, 17 miles from Prince Charles’ home in Highgrove, after her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles in 1995
“My mother is an avid grower of white peaches (the topic of this month’s column was very much her idea) and they certainly don’t want attention,” he wrote.
Camilla bought her six-bedroom house with extensive gardens, 17 miles from the Prince of Wales’s home in Highgrove, after her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles in 1995.
A Clarence House spokesperson, who released the image, said of the birthday celebrations: “She will be having a small family dinner.”
Camilla, pictured earlier this week, has spoken of ‘exciting new prospects’ going forward as her position in the royal family rises to prominence
The milestone comes during a period of change for the monarchy, with the future queen consort speaking in the documentary last week of “exciting new prospects” that lie ahead as her position in the royal family rises to prominence.
In an interview with the Daily Mail yesterday, the Duchess joked: ‘We don’t really want to talk about birthdays, do we? Unfortunately, I can never lie about my age, because it’s always in the paper, so I just have to carry on with it.’
She paid tribute to her family, including her five grandchildren, and revealed that she used a social media chat app called Houseparty to keep in touch with them during the lockdown when she was in Scotland and she in England.
‘I’m not sure if they’ [her grandchildren] think I’m cool at 75,” she added. “But we do have a very close bond and they keep me in touch with the youth world – and TikTok.
