His Majesty King Charles III often retreats to his country home, Highgrove House, when he's not required for royal engagements elsewhere in the country. For the monarch, Tetbury in the Cotswolds is a place where he can get away from it all. He's been known to get his hands dirty in the garden and uses the private chapel on site for quiet contemplation. A rarely seen room inside the estate was showcased on Instagram - and it has the most amazing wallpaper.
A video from a block printing workshop held at Highgrove was shared online, and the stunning setting truly stole the show. It's not unusual to see reds and golds featuring inside a royal residence, but pink is a welcomed change. The space has been decorated with a statement damask print wallpaper in a delicate powder pink hue.

The space is beautifully finished off with multiple chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and wonderful artwork adorning the walls. In the centre of the room, there's a long table, making it ideal for workshops, talks and private dinners. The large window positioned at one end floods the space with light.
The space has been identified as the Orchard Room, and must sit close to the Orchard Restaurant which is where afternoon tea is served for visitors to the glorious country home.
The property is an 18th-century Georgian country home and Charles purchased it via the Duchy of Cornwall in 1980. The nine-bedroom, six-bathroom house has been much-loved by Charles and his family over the years.

Last month, the team shared a mesmerising before-and-after video of one of their garden transformations, of the team's efforts when pruning the iconic topiary hedges.
Showing the monarch's love for the gardens, a quote from His Majesty on the Highgrove website reads: "One of my great joys is to see the pleasure that the garden can bring to many of the visitors and that everybody seems to find some part of it that is special to them."
Renowned for its enduring focus on sustainability, spearheaded by the monarch, Highgrove is also home to Duchy Home Farm, where organic and eco practices are used.
