King Charles returns to Highgrove after a week of royal visits

King Charles has retired to Highgrove to relax for a day as he gets ready for his mother’s funeral on Monday, capping off a frantic and emotional tour of the UK.

The BBC reports that Charles, who has already received red boxes of cabinet documents and daily parliamentary summaries, will use the day at his residence in Gloucestershire to get ready for his new position as King.
