The much-loved Scottish castle in Aberdeenshire was backdrop to a lifetime of memories for Her Majesty.
The late Queen and Prince Philip with their children, from left to right, Anne, Andrew and Charles When the first members of the public come through the doors of Balmoral at the start of July, they will get a glimpse of a world previously only open to the Royal Family, their staff, and their visitors. They may also get a sense of why it has held such a special place in the heart of those who stayed there – particularly the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died there aged 96 in September 2022.
Hosting duties aside, Balmoral was a place for the Queen to embrace her role as mother and wife. The family spent many summers walking in the Highlands, going on picnics or fishing. While at home, there would be cinema evenings and silly games.
