Princess Diana's Alleged Camilla Face-Off Over King Charles Happened Here-Now the London Estate Is Listed for $33 Million
A piece of royal history just went on the market-for $33 million. The London estate is known as the site of a major, if not the ultimate, face-off. Yes, it's the home where Princess Diana allegedly confronted Queen Camilla about the King Charles cheating scandal.
As the story goes, in 1989, Diana arrived unannounced at a birthday party for Camilla's sister, Annabel Elliot, at her home, Ormeley Lodge Estate. Of course, Charles was there with his now-wife, then-mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles (the current Queen of England).
Lady Annabel shared with the Daily Mail, "Yes, Diana's name was on the invitation, but everyone knew she always steered clear of anything where Camilla was involved…I never thought for a minute she'd come." Well, Diana did come. And according to reports, at some point in the evening, the party guests moved to the drawing room. That is, everyone except Charles and Camilla.
Diana found the pair, along with an unnamed man, and supposedly asked, "Can you leave us alone? I want to talk to Camilla alone."
King (then-Prince) Charles and the man obliged the Princess and left. That's when Diana is said to have confronted Camilla: "I would just like you to know that I know exactly what is going on. I'm sorry I'm in the way. It must be hell for both of you…don't treat me like an idiot."
Based on accounts of the event, Camilla replied, "You've got everything you ever wanted. You've got all the men in the world falling in love with you, and you've got two beautiful children. What more could you want?" Diana famously answered, "I want my husband."
Ormeley Lodge is located in Richmond, South West London. The 10-bedroom, seven-bath, 15,814-square-foot estate is listed for over $33 million by Sotheby's International Realty.
Per Sotheby's, it is "One of London's most remarkable private residences." Nestled on 2.3 acres, the property features walled gardens, 11-plus-foot-tall ceilings, original fireplaces (the house dates back to the Stuart period), a wine cellar, tennis courts, a library, a private pool, storage rooms, a principal suite with a private study, a self-contained guest apartment, and an ancillary building (Ormeley Mews) with a garage, a gardeners' facility, and a studio apartment.
Bought in the ‘70s by Lady Annabel's husband, billionaire Sir James Goldsmith, the historic home has been in the family for over half a century. One of the couple's adult children, Ben Goldsmith, recently told the Daily Mail, "Ormeley has been our treasured home for our whole lives. But it's time to pass it on to another lucky family." And if you happen to have an extra $33 million, it could be yours!
