Now the spotlight is once again on King Charles and Queen Camilla – two years after the coronation.

The British press details the sudden breakup from home, which also affects Prince William and Princess Kate .

King Charles’ retreat with Queen Camilla

When the Prince and Princess of Wales are not on official duties, they enjoy the peace and quiet of their home in Adelaide Cottage in Windsor with their three children.

But as their titles suggest, the couple have a strong connection to Wales – and they have therefore obviously had access to a special royal hideaway there.

The Llwynywermod estate is located in Carmarthenshire and spreads over 192 hectares.

Once a private and secluded retreat for King Charles, the estate was previously owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, but in 2023, King Charles relinquished ownership, meaning Camilla and Charles had to part ways with the place.

According to the BBC, he was simply forced to “give up” his beloved place in Wales. Today, the property belongs to Prince William, who took over the dukedom when he became heir to the throne.

But despite ownership passing, Charles chose to continue using the estate – and paid rent himself to stay after his coronation, according to Hello Magazine .

Prince William’s new possession

Llwynywermod was originally a simple model farm, but over time was transformed into a beautiful and royal summer residence.

It was architect Craig Hamilton who redesigned the property and converted the area into three separate cottages and a listed barn.

The barn served as the main house when Charles and Camilla were visiting. When Charles finally gave up the estate, The Telegraph reported that he still had a strong emotional attachment to the place – but that it was unlikely he would be able to use the house as before.

The estate had been owned by the Duchy of Cornwall since 2007, following a purchase for £1.2 million.

And the interior? It has a personal touch – Queen Camilla put her sister, Annabel Elliot, in charge of the design. A clear sign of how special the place has been for the royal couple.

And among all the details was a nice tribute to William and Kate. Six of the English maples that lined the aisle at their wedding in 2011 had found a new home on the estate in Wales – as a quiet reminder of their big day.
