King Charles has forked out £3.75million for a house next to Queen Camilla’s in Reybridge, Wiltshire.
Newly published documents show the monarch spent the sizeable sum on the property next door to his wife’s home of 30 years, Reymill House.
The King started a new company to purchase The Old Mill, with land registry files stating it was bought in March 2025 by a company known as Frisa Nominess Ltd.
It was set up in February 2025, with Buckingham Palace noted as its correspondence address.

As revealed by the Mail, two royal employees are detailed as directors of the company.
The figure forked out by His Majesty far exceeds the property’s purchase price eight years ago, with a previous owner buying the house for £675,000.
The Old Mill shares a private lane with Reymill House, which was purchased by Camilla for £850,000 following her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles.
Land registry documents appeared to indicate that the Queen’s property had newly registered owners, of 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.

Camilla has recently been given the green light to cut down a tree at Reymill House.
Her Majesty had to wait for confirmation from Wiltshire Council, which was given a deadline of March 11.
The council responded a day earlier, giving Camilla the answer she wanted.
An application submitted to Wiltshire Council under the name “HRM The Queen,” completed by her tree surgeon, was filed at the beginning of February.

It stated that the tree is “showing signs of deterioration and [is] shading new trees.”
Initial discussions were held by Lacock Parish Council at the beginning of February, with no objections being raised.
With Wiltshire Council’s confirmation, the royal can now chop down the cypress tree.
