Nearly a month after his Coronation, King Charles travelled to Romania last week for a private visit and a holiday from his official duties.
The monarch is a frequent visitor to the nation and is adored by the locals. He possesses many properties in the country’s Transylvanian region.
As Queen Camilla relaxed at her personal house in Wiltshire, His Majesty travelled alone to the European country.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond explained why the King and Queen’s short separate holidays are essential to their strong camaraderie and successful marriage.
About the King’s holiday home in Romania, Jennie said: “The countryside seemed so untouched by the modern world and it was immediately obvious that it was right up Charles’s street.

“He adores his breaks there away from the hustle and bustle of modern life,” she told OK! Magazine.
The King likes to take walks there with his binoculars in hand, recharging his batteries while taking in the sights and sounds of the natural surroundings.
Jennie added: “Most couples find that a few days apart strengthens their relationship.
“Queen Camilla can relax in her own way and often chooses to spend her time at Ray Mill House in Wiltshire, pottering around the garden and entertaining her grandchildren.
“For a few days, at least, she can perhaps forget that she is now the Queen with all the responsibilities that role carries.”
Queen Camilla has lived at Ray Mill House since 1996, a year after her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles was finalised.
King Charles, on the other hand, purchased the Blue House in Transylvania, Romania in 2006 after falling in love with the region during an official visit in 1998.
When he is not residing there, the lively farmhouse, which is situated in the little village of Viscri, is open to visitors.
The King often stays in the country for a few days every year and is frequently seen hiking and mingling with the people.
In order to create a calm and serene atmosphere, the home itself has seven bedrooms and no radios or televisions.
The Blue House’s rooms average about £100 per night and have ancient Transylvanian furnishings throughout.
The home includes seven ensuite bedrooms, a drawing room, a dining room, a sitting room, a spacious kitchen, and an outdoor breakfast barn with a huge bread oven.
