This summer, you can visit the Scottish estate, as well as peer out at Buckingham Palace's iconic central balcony.
Balmoral Castle, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was known to be the late Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite place to spend time. It’s also where she spent her final days and died in 2022. Beginning this summer, the public will be allowed to explore parts of the royal residence for the first time ever since its completion in 1855. The royal family usually spends large parts of their summers at Balmoral , a tradition that has continued into the reign of King Charles III.
“Still in shock, I found sanctuary in the service at Crathie Kirk that very morning,” he said. “And in the dark days of grief that followed, I found comfort and solace in the Scottish outdoors. As a result, the connection I feel to Scotland will forever run deep.” The castle and its land were first purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1852 when they promptly began construction to expand and modernize the previously too-small estate they had fallen in love with.
