The House Rules Judge Opens Up About His Very Special Relationship With Prince Charles and the Royal Family!
Given Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is British design royalty, it’s no surprise he’s pretty close to the real royals.
Harking back to the 1990s, the 53-year-old House Rules Judge reveals to New Idea that his links to the royal family have been very strong.
Not only did his wife Jackie plan parties for Princess Diana, but just a few years ago Laurence went into business with Prince Charles as part of his self-confessed ‘midlife crisis’.
‘Instead of a red Ferrari, I bought 10,000 square feet of barn off Prince Charles,’ Laurence spills.
The design guru purchased the barn conversion from Prince Charles with the hope of developing the property.
‘The whole thing had to be presented to him, he was adamant that it shouldn’t be a commercial development,’ the extroverted TV star says.
