King Charles' country home

Highgrove came into royal hands in 1980 when it was purchased by the Duchy of Cornwall from Conservative MP Maurice Macmillan. Under Charles' ownership, the Georgian property has been remodelled with several neo-classical additions.

King Charles' environmental passions are reflected in the Highgrove estate. Solar panels have been installed on the farm while the 18th-century house is heated by a wood chip boiler. Waste material from the house is also filtered through a natural sewage system, and the use of aerosols inside the abode has been banned since the 1980s.

Royal fans are able to get a slice of Highgrove when the gardens open to the public between April and October every year. The outside space has been transformed from overgrown into a haven of rare trees and flowers.

Since the estate is owned by the Duke of Cornwall, Prince William is the effective owner as he took on this title when his father ascended the throne in September 2022 upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
