If that weren’t enough, it seems like Camilla Parker Bowles would also rather spend less time at Balmoral Castle, even though it was Queen Elizabeth’s favorite residence.
The insider added, “‘She is dipping in and dipping out while the King is staying at Balmoral. She is staying at Birkhall where she has a limited number of loyal staff – her people.”
