The Royal Gardens at Highgrove have been a labour of love for the King for more than three decades

A royal commentator has claimed that the King has a hobby that Camilla refuses to "interfere" with.

The King has spent a lifetime championing the environment and as Patron of the National Gardens Scheme since 2002, he supports the nation’s passion for gardens, as well as enjoying gardening as a hobby himself.


His own garden at Highgrove is known to be his pride and joy and according to royal commentator Angela Levin, The Queen is equally as green-fingered but stays out of her husband's way,

Speaking to GB News Levin said: "They love going to garden centres and they do it a lot during the year. Camilla doesn't interfere with his garden at Highgrove.

"He has the most amazing garden with all different sorts of things, lots of poppies everywhere and things done in the special colour of his late mother.

"It's just the most beautiful garden. Camilla does hers in her own house down the road. I think it's really nice. They really do love it."

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

The King and Camilla recently attended the Chelsea Flower Show and the green-fingered monarch has a long-standing history with the RHS. He has regularly attended the Flower Show over the years.

The late Queen, who was Patron of the Society since her accession to the throne in 1952, also frequently attended the show during her 70-year reign.

Last year there was a special show dedicated to the late Queen’s favourite plants while commemorating King Charles’s reign and Coronation.

Keith Weed, President of the RHS, spoke about the King’s commitment to environmental issues and love of gardening.

He said: "As an advocate for the planet and champion for environmental issues, we are thrilled and honoured that His Majesty The King is our Royal Patron.

"We look forward to furthering our work to reach more people of all ages, backgrounds and gardening abilities with the joy of growing plants and gardening to create wonderful gardens, combat the effects of climate change and build a better future for generations to come."

Charles has previously stated that the gardens at Highgrove are to "please the eye and sit in harmony with nature."

In 2007, the King published a book, The Elements of Organic Gardening, explaining his beliefs about sustainable gardening and experiences in his own gardens.

Speaking to Country Life magazine in 2022, Camilla said: "I love gardening. It’s therapeutic.

"You can go and garden and you just become completely involved in what you’re doing and what you’re planting.

"[You can] do a bit of weeding and you can be very creative, it’s just one of the most relaxing things anyone can do. Go into the garden, get on with it."
