King Charles III and Queen Camilla look like they are a united front at all times, but it seems that their private life is much different than what is portrayed in the media. They are a loving couple in public, but apparently, they need some time away from each other, especially now that they are in high-pressure roles.
This may have some royal critics questioning the strength of their marriage, but The Daily Mail seems to think is actually what is stabilizing their union in stressful times. Noting that couple has “mutual understanding that they need their own space,” fans might be shocked to hear that they often “keep separate homes, friends, and interests” these days. Their friends don’t appear worried about the arrangement and see it more of a “sensible and pragmatic” way to conquer royal life, according to the media outlet’s sources. It’s a common occurrence for there to be “his and her” vehicles picking them up on the runway after a tour because they are headed to different estates.
Camilla prefers to spend downtime with “her family and friends” while Charles “will potter in his beloved gardens or on the farm.” Even when they are located on the same property, they will often be engaging in activities “in separate wings.” A palace insider explained, “It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but that time apart really works for them. They are better for it.” So, nobody needs to get all up in arms that their marriage is in turmoil — they are just doing a bit of self-care to keep their marriage healthy.
It may not be a strategy that works for every couple, but Charles and Camilla might be warming up the public to the idea that they probably won’t move into Buckingham Palace together once the renovations are completed in 2027. Camilla has been pushing back on the idea, but Charles reportedly feels like it is his royal duty to have a presence there. If they are living separate lives from time to time, Camilla never has to spend one day there (with the mice!) while Charles can come and go as he pleases.
