Hold onto your crowns, royal watchers! That’s because King Charles lll is making bold moves to ensure Queen Camilla Parker’s comfort and status in the monarchy. How, you might ask? Well, he has reportedly urged his brother, Prince Andrew, to leave his residence at Royal Lodge, aiming to reserve this property for the Queen Consort. When asked about this possibility, Sarah Ferguson refrained from making comments:

The reason? That could be Queen Camilla’s position once Prince William ascends the throne, inheriting all from his, dad including the royal residences. It seems that, just to keep the Queen Consort secure and comfortable, King Charles might transfer the 30-room estate to her. Talk about royal loyalty!
Royal commentator, Richard Eden, highlighted the inheritance traditions that see William already possessing important properties, such as the Gloucestershire Highgrove. He went on to comment on the inheritance implications, saying:
“As dowager Queen, Camilla would be stepmother – not mother – to King William. As Prince of Wales, William already owns the King’s beloved Gloucestershire home, Highgrove. So, Charles will be determined to make sure that Camilla is kept in the manner to which she has become accustomed.”
This step, seen as an effort to maintain Camilla’s royal lifestyle, proves she will continue to be well-placed within the monarchy, despite the royal family’s future structure. If these whispers turned out to be true, the Queen consort would not have to worry about a sweet home to live in.
