Prince Charles is said to have left Windsor Castle within a day of Prince Philip’s funeral on Saturday, and made the 180-mile trip to his Welsh home.
Locals can be expected to see extra security in the area, and several police and security vehicles were seen patrolling on Tuesday, reports Wales Online.
The main cottage, where Charles stays, is part of Llwynywermod Farm, and there are two other cottages that can be rented out by the public from £550 to £1,200 per night when the royal is not there.
The Duchy of Cornwall purchased the farm in 2007 and then renovated it to be used as a beautiful countryside retreat.
