The Prince of Wales is a “countryman to his very core” and it is where he “finds true peace”, the Duchess of Cornwall has written in a personal tribute to her husband.
Camilla, who guest edited Country Life magazine to mark her 75th birthday, selected her decades-long partner Charles as one of her rural heroes in an article she penned for the publication. The Duchess described the countryside as an integral part of the future king’s “heart and soul” and paid tribute to his vast knowledge of and support for rural affairs.
“My husband is a countryman to his very core. It’s the place where he is most happy and relaxed, an integral part of his heart and soul,” Camilla wrote. “Whether he’s hedge-laying in the pouring rain, striding, like a mountain goat, up impossibly steep Highland hills, planting trees in the arboretum or pruning at Highgrove, this is where he finds true peace.”
