King Charles has had a busy time recently, not least during the build-up to his and Queen Camilla's coronation on 6 May.
No wonder, then, that the monarch is hoping for some rest and relaxation, and he is reportedly planning a restorative trip away – although the Queen Consort won't be joining him.
According to the Daily Mail, the King plans to spend some time at his home in Transylvania, leaving in early June.
Charles is expected to spend at least a week in the rural location but will also have the opportunity to meet with the country's president, Klaus Iohannis, during his trip.

The bedrooms are furnished exclusively with antique Transylvanian furniture and according to the guesthouse's website, there are no televisions or radios, in order to create an atmosphere "of peace and tranquility".

The hills above the property are roamed by wolves and bears, and in the forests flourish one of Europe's rarest and most spectacular orchids, the lady's slipper.

While her husband is away, Camilla will remain at her Ray Mill residence in Wiltshire, which is a spectacular property that boasts stables, an outdoor swimming pool and even its own river, bought by the Queen Consort for £850,000 in 1994, following her divorce from Andrew Parker-Bowles.
