4. What about her property in Lacock, Wiltshire?
The queen consort may reside in Clarence House, but she also owns a massive country house in Wiltshire called Ray Mill House. The royal reportedly spent over $1 million on the property in 1996. And per The Telegraph, she has no intentions of giving up her private home.
A source told the outlet, "The Queen Consort has spent most of her life as a private citizen—so she understands the meaning of shutting your front door and having a place to yourself. Ray Mill is the only place where she can literally and metaphorically kick off her shoes and spend time with family and friends in a really informal setting. It’s an escape from royal life and it will be treasured even more greatly now.”
