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.
