Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch for over 70 years, spent many summers at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire. Her death last September at Balmoral marked a deep national loss. The estate was a beloved family sanctuary where she stayed from August through October, enjoying treasured traditions.
Family Memories and Barbecues at Balmoral
Balmoral is a private royal residence steeped in history. The Queen treasured family barbecues here, often with the Duke of Edinburgh manning the grill while she washed up.
