Queen Camilla still owns her private home despite confusing documents, GB News can exclusively confirm.
It was previously reported that Queen Camilla quietly offloaded her beloved private property, Reymill House in Wiltshire.
The property was purchased by Camilla in 1996 for £850,000 following her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles.
As first reported by the Mail, Land Registry documents appeared to indicate that the newly registered owners are her son-in-law, Harry Lopes, and financier Jake Irwin.
They were thought to represent Camilla’s daughter, Laura Lopes, and her son, Tom Parker Bowles.
However, GB News understands that as trustees, Mr Lopes and Mr Irwin hold the legal title for Land Registry purposes, but they are not the beneficial owners.
A beneficial owner is the person who owns, controls, or benefits from an asset, even if someone else’s name is on legal documents. They are the true owner who enjoys the profits and makes key decisions.
The People’s Channel also understands that Reymill House is held in a trust, of which Mr Lopes and Mr Irwin are trustees, that is, the legal owners who hold titles and manage the property for Her Majesty.

This update comes just as a deadline has been set for deciding whether Queen Camilla’s tree should be cut down in her garden at Reymill House.
Last week, GB News confirmed that Lacock Parish Council has “no objection” to the Queen’s plans for cutting down a cypress tree at her private Wiltshire residence.
In a statement, Theo Edge, the Parish Clerk at Lacock Parish Council, said: “Lacock Parish Council considered PL/2026/00692 for proposed tree works at Reymill House, Reybridge, Lacock at its February meeting.
“A representation of no objection was resolved and submitted to Wiltshire Council’s planning team to inform their decision on the matter.”

GB News has since confirmed that Wiltshire Council received a Section 211 Notice regarding proposed tree works.
A Section 211 Notice is a mandatory six-week notification sent to a local council before pruning or felling trees within a designated conservation area that are not already protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
It allows the authority to evaluate the work’s impact and potentially issue a TPO.
Wiltshire Council has until March 11, 2026 to decide whether to go ahead and approve Queen Camilla’s plans, or issue a TPO to protect the tree.

Reymill House has served as the Queen’s treasured haven away from public attention since she purchased it, and she has kept the property even after her marriage to King Charles.
Those close to her say the estate allows her to relax and be herself truly.
The Italianate-style house, constructed around 1860, features 12 acres of gardens and orchards alongside a private walled swimming pool that her grandchildren are said to particularly enjoy.
Should Camilla outlive the King, sources suggest that she would likely make Reymill her permanent home rather than residing in a royal Palace.
