In the days following his mother's death, King Charles carried out engagement after engagement as part of Operation London Bridge. But on Thursday, the day after he walked behind the Queen's coffin to escort her to Lie-in-State, the grieving son took a day to himself away from the cameras.
He spent time alone, carrying out state business at his beloved Highgrove House retreat. But the stunning property is just one of His Majesty's many houses.
Since becoming King, Charles has inherited a wealth of palaces, castles, and stately homes, meaning he has plenty of options when it comes to deciding where to live. There are nine official residences, however there are other homes the royals like to stay in, and many of them can be visited by the general public.
