Highgrove: King Charles' amazing country mansion with 'panic room' and a new landlord

Highgrove is not an official royal residence, but it is the place where King Charles has retreated to since he bought it in 1980. The stunning home not far from the Welsh border is where he loses himself in the elaborate gardens of the garden retreat.

After his marriage to Diana in 1981, the Cotswolds mansion became their marital home and it was there where the couple and their sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, would spend their weekends.

The boys spent a large amount of their childhood there, but Diana grew to detest the estate and once said that going there was a "return to prison".
