Nothing is more magical to a young child than a secret treehouse. Holyrood House (a riff on the name of the royal residence in Edinburgh), originally built in 1988 for Princes William and Harry, has recently been refurbished by Charles for the newest generation of little royal youngsters. The rustic playhousewith a thatched roof and an oak post-and...
Despite King Charles’s love of tradition, not all gardens are formal and perfectly manicured. “The way I see it, it’s more like painting a watercolor,” King Charles says in an interview. “I used to be careful about it in the beginning, but now I like to slap it on.” For the king, this means allowing some weeds to grow and a few misplaced flowers to...
Who says the kids should have all the fun? Charles has his own secret hideaway as well (what, you don’t have one?). This idyllic mock home, called the Sanctuary, is certainly not on the public tour and is kept under strict lock and key, hidden among the trees in the ground’s arboretum. It’s a special building designed by architect Charles Morris an...
In 2000, Charles had the idea of creating a garden patterned after a pair of Turkish rugs he owned. This was the beginning of his Carpet Garden. “After gazing for many years at the patterns and colors of one of the small Turkish carpets in my room at Highgrove, I couldn’t help feeling what fun it would be to use those patterns and colors to create ...
Don’t be fooled. That low-hanging fruit from the espaliered apple trees clinging on to the metal arch in Kitchen Garden is not the result of the mouthwatering sweet apple fragrance that hangs in the air here. The apple-tinged aroma actually comes from lower down, where you’ll see sweet briar rose lining each side. In the spring, this walkway is lin...
In Cottage Garden, an enchanting woodland wonderland that is well named, you will find a sprawling light green tree (in the back in the above photo). This Indian bean tree, or Catalpa bignonioides “Aurea,” was given to Prince Charles for his 50th birthday by the Rocketman himself. It is a fast-growing tree with heart-shaped leaves that often bears ...
The king’s commitment to environmentalism is no secret. But the way he’s invested in sustainably focused operations in his gardens feels like a lesser-known disclosure that we want in on. The gardens are run on solar panels and feature energy-saving bulbs and solar lights. More features that truly put the “green” in his Majesty’s green thumb? A com...
If you find it difficult to hide your ambivalence toward that unwanted ugly sweater from Great Aunt Bertha, then you’ll understand King Charle’s plight (admittedly, first-world problems) who gets presents from around the world. Big presents. Busts and statues are just the beginning (there are piles of them, according to one recent visitor). He gets...
But of course this wouldn’t be a proper royal garden without a melodic accolade. In 2010, the king commissioned composer Patrick Hawes and former Royal Harpist Claire Jones to join the strings of the Philharmoniafor a collection of movements, each inspired by a different area of the gardens at Highgrove. The musical arrangement was premiered in the...
