Ut oh! Quick! Hide the pens and paper and the silver. Its the Daily Fail readers coming!
Question just came to me: does Charles still use Highgrove as a weekend retreat? He has Clarance House and his place in Scotland, plus he travels so extensively. Has Highgrove gone it's own way these days, on automatic, as a tourist attraction? Anyone know?
My understanding is that Highfrove is used every weekend that they are not in Scotland or abroad. it is also used when they are not doing engagements in London or elsewhere in the country.Question just came to me: does Charles still use Highgrove as a weekend retreat?

So true Osipi. It’s remarkable what Charles has done with Highgrove. I always think he’s happiest there, just a man in his home.
Before the marriage in 1981 the Prince of Wales was offered at least two houses as residences in the Country -
Chevening House, Kent .
This magnificent House and estate , conveniently placed for both London and Sandringham was rejected by the Prince of Wales, reportedly because his late Wife [and then fiance] didn't care for it...
According to the article below Charles was having second thoughts about Chevening as early as July 1978 (and probably before) and finally rejected it in 1980, before he began his relationship with Diana.

I wonder how William will do (financially) when he takes over everything
