Balmoral Castle is a special place for Queen Elizabeth

On September 8 (local time), Queen Elizabeth, who was loved and respected not only by the British people but also by people all over the world, passed away at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She was 96 years old. She stayed at Balmoral Castle with her husband, Prince Philip, until his death in 2021.

The Balmoral Castle was a special place for Queen Elizabeth, filled with memories of her late husband Philip. According to royal biographer Sally Beadell Smith, who wrote a biography of the Queen entitled “Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch,” Balmoral Castle was the place where Philip proposed to Queen Elizabeth and was also the place where the two visited for their honeymoon. It was also the site of their honeymoon. At the same time, Balmoral Castle was a familiar place to Queen Elizabeth since she was born, and “a place of rejuvenation and reflection,” according to the writer.

It is also a “summer staple” among the Royal Family for their children, including their eldest son, Prince Charles (the new King Charles), and their grandchildren to gather at Balmoral Castle. It is reported that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis visited Balmoral Castle a few weeks before Queen Elizabeth’s death and spent time together.

Incidentally, upon receiving news of Queen Elizabeth’s health scare, the Queen’s four children, Prince Charles (the new King Charles), Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward, as well as her grandson, Prince William, arrived at Balmoral Castle. Prince William’s brother, Prince Henry, also changed his plans and headed to Scotland, but did not arrive at the castle until about an hour after his passing was announced. According to a royal announcement, the Queen breathed her last peacefully as her family looked on.
