According to Daily Mail, Camilla complained three times about the extensive renovations being done at The Old Mill, which is located next to her home, Ray Mill House, after the owners revealed plans to demolish their garage and replace it with a two-story building. Camilla was reportedly concerned about flooding issues, as well as the addition of the “granny flat.”
