The Duchess bought the house in Wiltshire, just a 15-minute drive away from Highgrove House, in 1996 for £850,000, and while she moved out in 2003 to live with Prince Charles at their main London residence Clarence House, she kept Ray Mill House as an additional base. It is believed that she enjoys spending time with her five grandchildren at the property, while her daughter Laura Lopes also held her wedding reception at the mansion. Take a look inside…
