Royal houses and interiors

The country house of the new King and his Queen Consort Camilla is set in the idyllic Gloucestershire countryside. Here we take a look at the house and garden through the ages, plus its rather surprising security feature

King Charles's first Welsh home, adapted from a former model farm in Carmarthenshire, bears witness to his philosophy of sustainable building, with a structure traditionally made from existing and locally sourced materials, an ecologically sound heating system, and elegant interiors that harmonise perfectly with the architecture

Oozing with grandeur and packed with charm, these historic houses all have royal connections, from the sprawling castle in Scotland to a tiny, whitewashed cottage in Wales
