The gardens are breathtakingly beautiful

One user penned: "I could just sit on that wee seat in the sunshine and read. Beautiful pic" and another added: "What a magical photograph! A secret garden. Thank you for recommending such wonderful books. Looking forward to season four very much."

Meanwhile, one fan quizzed: "Is that photo from inside The Shand Gate at Highgrove?" to which another aptly responded: "Yes it is."

Each time the Duchess releases a new image from within the grounds of her country estate, it is met with such admiration from the public who love the tranquillity and beauty of the garden.

Highgrove is the country residence for Charles and Camilla

While Camilla and Prince Charles may have a team of gardeners on hand to keep the outdoor space looking pretty, the royals themselves are keen to get involved too.

Appearing on Gardeners' World, Camilla opened up to presenter Monty Don about her own gardening, admitting that it isn't always plain sailing.

She made a candid confession about pests, revealing that voles had ravaged her strawberries and asparagus roots.

The royal also spoke about future plans: "I've got a little bit of a woodland garden that I've started and I would love to build that up more. I would love to put down swathes of bulbs, and I would also like to have a proper wildflower meadow."
