Do Camilla and Charles live separately?

[EdieLedwell]

She was dropped off in Wiltshire. I was surprised they didn't stay together today.

I'm not hating btw just genuinely curious and I kind of admire her for creating her own space if
It's true.

ALSO, because it's driving me crazy, did Anne and Tim separate briefly back in the nougties?

I'm sure I remember it being announced on Sky, but it was never mentioned again and he seemed to continue accompanying her to Royal engagements.

I’d have my own house too if I could afford it. Space to be together and be apart when needed, I suspect lots of marriages would be much happier if they had this arrangement.

I'm trying to dig up the memory of Anne and Tim's marriage breakdown and I think
The Queen told her a second divorce was not possible.

When me and my husband unexpectedly came into a lot of money the first thing we did was buy separate residences for during the week and we have never been happier in 16 years! I have my home decorated as I like, it’s full of throws and cushions and rugs and books and is my comfy little hide away. My husbands home is all chrome and glass and dark wood, just as he likes it! No arguing over chores, no annoyance with what’s on tv, it’s bliss to be honest. He pops over during the week when he’s at his office, he takes the kids to his over night so I get evenings in peace to myself, as does he when I have them. Then we come together Friday evening until Sunday night for family trips out, meals together and so on. I could never live full time with a man again! Good on Camilla she knows the drill.

I wonder does Camilla have security when she is at her own house?

Of course!

She's the queen!

I bet she loves being able to drink and smoke in peace.

No evidence at all that Tim and Anne are separated.

It's fairly well known that Charles is an introvert, and hates noise. Camilla keeps her own home for entertaining her children and grandchildren.

I'd happily do the same should we be able to afford it. HM and PP often lived separately - he lived at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate for many years. They only lived together again during the pandemic.

I’ve always wondered this. About royals couples and families. Do they have chefs making every meal for them ? Do they get shopping brought in for them?
What do they do in the evenings? Watch tv? Socialise? Do they have staff doing everything for them? Do the royal children have security guarding them at school?

My point is, I think it got announced but it never actually publicly happened.

Quite prepared to be wrong about this as noone ever mentions it.

I can’t answer fully but when I lived in Menai Bridge and Kate and Wills were living on the island we often saw Kate pushing her trolley around (wish a security guard two steps behind) so at one point, she 100% did her own shopping! This was pre kids and pre relocating to London though.

I'm single and if I ever met someone I would have this arrangement .

As I said on a different thread, a lot of the relationships described on this site would benefit from separate living arrangements.

I’m pretty old so unlikely to have a new relationship, but if it did happen I would never move in with anyone.

Agree 100%, in fact he looks to have been a massive support to her this week. He is a quiet and dignified presence who doesn't appear to engage in the ways the other royal husbands/wives do. His reason for being there seems to be to support Princess Anne.

Me too, happily divorced and I have created a lovely home, for me. No desire to share it with anyone and if I ever did meet anyone (not on my agenda) they would need to have their own home because I've got no intention of sharing mine.

I love this!

Charles has got 7 homes - plus the recently refurbished one in N. Ireland...

And that's before he gets to stay in Windsor/Buckingham Palace / Balmoral etc etc.

I remember the rumours Anne and whathisname were separating a while ago. I was also thinking about that in the past week. I remember reading that the royals all treated him like a butler and he got pissed off about it (go figure!).

Prince Philip lived separately with his woman partner coach driver in a cottage at Sandringham. I think they even let her attend the funeral.

My DH and I live in separate homes. Various reasons. Mainly he is quite quiet and I have kids and their mates around.. we lived together for the first 12 years but separate for the last 4. He is only 2 miles away (rural so practically next door) we stay at one another's at least 3-4 times a week.
Everyone is happier.
Not wealthy money-wise. We rent

Anne was involved with Andrew Parker-Bowles before Camilla married him. It’s often been rumoured that she rekindled the relationship at some point either before or during her marriage to Tim Laurence.

Good of her to keep Camilla’s husband occupied so she could marry her brother!

Delighted someone else remembers!!

Find all this fascinating and probably makes a lot of sense!

Sources?

I think Anne and Tim lead separate lives but there is no official separation

Totally untrue. They both live at Gatcombe. They are regularly photographed together there and at royal events. They holiday together. Did you see the photo last year of them sitting on the sofa together watching the rugby? The Queen chose him to be on the balcony with her and her children at the jubilee celebrations.

Both are very formal people, not given to public displays of emotion. When you're really upset about something, do you not find that you can keep it together until someone is really nice to you, gives you a hug or pats your arm? I imagine the only way Anne could get through the constant media and public scrutiny of the last few days was by adopting a very stiff upper lip and avoiding sympathy/emotion.

I'm sure I vaguely remember something about them separating years ago.

I'd forgotten about it until I saw her husband this week in photos and was surprised to see him there.
