    Story from Queen's Bodyguard: "There were two hikers coming towards us and the Queen would always stop and say hello. It was two Americans on a walking holiday and it was clear they hadn't recognised her, which was fine." "The American man asked her if she lived in the area to which she replied that she did indeed have a house nearby.
    "She said that she lived in London but had a house just over the hill, and he asked how often she had been coming up here. "She said she'd been coming up for more than 80 years and you could see the cogs were ticking. He said: 'Well if you've been coming up here for 80 years, you must have met the Queen?' "As quick as a flash, she said 'Well I haven't but Dick here meets her regularly.' So the guy asked me what she was like. "Anyway the next thing I knew, this guy comes round, puts his arm around my shoulder, and before I could see what is happening, he gives his camera to the Queen and asks her to take a photo of us.
    "Anyway, we swapped places, I took a photo of them with the Queen, we never let on and we waved goodbye. Then Her Majesty said to me that she'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows these photos to his American friends and hopefully someone tells him who I am."

    There's a lovely story from many years ago that the Queen was walking near Balmoral with a single gamekeeper when they happened across an American tourist hiking. They got talking and the American, not realising who he was talking to, asked if they had ever met the Queen. Her Majesty reply replied, "no, I haven't. But he has." The American was so happy to meet someone who had met the Queen that he asked Her Majesty to take a picture of him with the Gamekeeper. She also got him to have a picture taken with her, after which they parted company having never identified herself to the tourist.
    I would love to have seen his face the first time he showed that photo to someone who recognised her!

    From what I've read recently, the Queen reduced the prices of the holiday homes at Balmoral drastically so people could have a holiday without it costing too much as she was aware of the cost of living at the moment.

    We passed by the Balmoral area the day before the Queen died. Weirdly, we were heading to a hotel a bit further south on the afternoon of her death, driving along a pretty deserted country road here in Scotland. We came round a corner to see a Golden Eagle sitting on the road in front of us. It saw our car, hesitated for a moment and then took off and flew away. Its wingspan was enormous and I could still clearly see it minutes later as it flew into the distance. The weird thing is, seeing a Gloden Eagle signifies ‘majesty’ and this would be about 2 hrs before the Balmoral announcement of the Queens death. I have seen Golden Eagles before but never anything this close or in such bizarre circumstances..

    What a touching and heartfelt opening to the video!! It has been said many times and there is footage of Queen Elizabeth driving herself around Balmoral Estate in her Land Rover, often at high speed. I think I also recall a story that she was driving a Saudi Prince once who asked her to slow down but the Queen reportedly grinned and sped up as a slight dig for the laws surrounding women not being able to drive in his country. Balmoral and Windsor castle are both my favourites.

    I live in Aberdeen which is where the Royal family fly to and from when they visit Balmoral. The castle falls within the boundary of the town of Ballater, which is absolutely beautiful. Most of the shops there carry the Royal Warrant which they proudly display on their shop fronts. You can visit Balmoral when the family are not in residence, but mainly the grounds and the Ballroom; their private rooms are not open to the public. Her Majesty was said to be at her happiest when she was here; the scenery is so awe inspiring that this part of Royal Deeside is commonly referred to as “God’s Country.”
    I have been very emotional since Her Majesty’s passing; perhaps more so because she died here and her cortège passed through so many of the towns we class as “home”. We are heartbroken at her death and are visiting Balmoral tomorrow. I would have gone sooner but have been working abroad. Have never been prouder to be a Scottish Brit; I think as a country, we’ve afforded The Queen the respect and deference she so richly deserved.

    Hey Ladies,
    Yes the Balmoral estate was one of 2 private estates of The Queen. This was there chill down place in the summer months.
    I listened to a former head Royal chef and he said it wasn't uncommon for Prince Phillip to decide he'd cook for everyone while at Balmoral.
    The other titbit of history is that The Queen would invite the Prime Minister and his/her family to Balmoral for a week in September. There'd be a dinner party on arrival where the Queen and other Royals would cook and serve the Prime minister dinner. I watch ex PM Tony Blair talk about how odd this was to him after he became prime minister and went with his family to stay the first time. Apparently he tried to help grab some food and got told no this night you're our guest and must just sit at the table and not do anything!

    I know it's not the same as being there, but you can shop online at the Balmoral Gift Shop. My favourite of the Royal residences in the UK is Windsor Castle because I love history and it was built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. It's spectacular and also has massive grounds. When you come to the UK, be sure to sit on the left side of the plane so that when it descends just before landing at Heathrow airport you will have a wonderful view of Windsor Castle. You will be quite low at that point so can see everything so clearly. By the way, do you never think of looking at Google maps/aerial view to see places? You would have been able to see what Balmoral looked like if you had. I love being able to virtually explore places on Google maps street view but many people don't seem to realise they can do that.

Don't forget that Victoria and Albert had nine children. They would also need rooms for guests and servants. Both of the late Queen's private residences (Balmoral and Sandringham) were partially open to the public, when she was not in residence. None of the royals like living in Buckingham Palace.

    While in residence the Queen often walked the grounds and met locals on their walks, she was always happy to stop and chat with people, and I believe this is the only location where people could meet and talk to the Queen without her security, or the pomp and ceremony.

    When one considers that the entirety of the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and NI) is smaller than the state of Wyoming, the country truly boasts a range of landscapes and natural beauty which is amazing. Of course, Balmoral in Scotland, Sandringham in Norfolk, and the Princes' homes in Wales, Southwest England, and in Scotland are each owned privately by the royals. Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace, Windsor, Holyrood, and Hillsborough are owned by the Crown, and thus controlled and run by the state. It is interesting that the Queen died at her private home, Balmoral. George VI and his father George V both died at thrir favourite private home at Sandringham. Victoria died at her smaller, private home, Osborne House on the Isle of White. The only monarch to die at Buckingham Palace was Edward VII in 1910.

I'm so fortunate I'm from Scotland and was able to be in Edinburgh yesterday for her coffin leaving Hollyrood Palace and travel up the Royal Mile. I patiently waited over 5hrs to view her coffin lying in state in St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. It was so moving! I said a thank you to her majesty for all her service and duty to her beloved country 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 thank you ma'am, rest in peace 🙏 💔

    It was her favourite place. She described Buckingham Palace and like, “living above the shop’ as it was her place of work. Balmoral is where she sadly passed and where she went to whenever she could. RIP. ✌️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈

    I knew a work colleague who, when on holiday there, was having a nice walk through the woods and saw a lady walking towards her with a dog. Yes, it was indeed the Queen, and they exchanged pleasantries about the weather and location. All very British don't you know! 😀

    Balmoral and the grounds are truly stunning I really enjoyed watching.
    Hever Castle (pronounced Heaver) is my favourite place. It was the ancestral home of Anne Boleyn and was visited by King Henry VIII. I used to live quite near to it but now my local castle is Arundel Castle which is 3 miles away.

    Hello again ladies, I am very fortunate to live only 45 miles from Balmoral Castle and the village of Balmoral which is very picturesque. The castle is already open to the public during the summer months and closes again around a week before the Royal party arrive for their summer break. I hope you do get an opportunity to visit some day, you won't be disappointed ❤️

    If you're interested, the style of architecture is called 'Scottish Baronial' or 'Scots Baronial'. It is a Gothic revival based on the architecture of the buildings of the late Middle Ages in Scotland and is a very common style of architecture in Scotland, especially in Edinburgh!

    Hi Natasha and Debbie that was a most respectful video and your comments for our royal family and I have always thought of the USA as our younger cousin's, I had heard just before her majesty passed away that part of the Balmoral estate would become a b&b , bare in mind that Queen Victoria's children were married into many countries royal families as there were 10 children.once again I thank you both .

    If you like castles, Aberdeenshire is your place :) I read somewhere that there are over 200 (including Balmoral)! People don't seem to visit the area much which is a shame. I'm biased as it's home for me though...and my mum made some of the fences around the gardens at Balmoral :P I think King Charles might open up Balmoral more to visitors. I love you two more with every video I watch! I moved away from the UK 3 years ago, so I'm loving the videos of home!

    She didn’t stay in the castle all of the time during her holidays. There is a smaller house on the estate which she preferred. We toured the estate for my dads birthday last year and one of the stories we were told is when she walked down to the shop on the grounds. There were loads of tourists but nobody noticed her. However one person said to her “you look like the queen” and she replied “that’s reassuring” then moved on!

    The reaction from Americans during this past week has really surprised me and in an entirely good way. The vast majority of the media and public outpourings have been so dignified and heartfelt and they have shown such respect and sensitivity to our history and culture. I genuinely appreciate it and I wasn’t expecting it at all. Much love and thank you from Manchester, England. 🤍🤍🤍

    Thank you for your lovely video. I'm currently watching events on the telly in England, the queue to pay respects at Westminster Palace is currently 4 miles long and growing. People of all faiths and nationalities are waiting with a common purpose and united to try and acknowledge how Elizabeth the Great influenced and grew the planet.
    May I also mention and respect the work of our forces in the whole grief riven time. From the military though to the police, ambulance and fire services, all are equally hurting yet carry out their duties with diligence and honour.
    Thank you.

    This was from the local press a while back, The monarch was out in the hills near her Scottish castle at Balmoral when two U.S. tourists on a walking holiday approached and one of them engaged her in conversation, said former royal protection officer Richard Griffin, known as Dick.
    They asked the queen where she lived, so she said London, adding that she had a holiday home just over the hill and had been visiting the area for more than 80 years since she as a little girl. She did not say she was referring to Balmoral. Aware that the castle was in the vicinity, they then asked her if she had ever met the queen, "Quick as a flash she said: 'I haven't, but Dick here meets her regularly'

    I remember visiting Balmoral Castle a few years ago, you can go into only a couple of rooms for obvious reasons but those rooms are beautiful. I remember me and my family driving past the day after visiting and the Royal flag was flying which meant the Queen was there. that was amazing to see. And only a few weeks before she passed I visited Sandringham Estate, which is another private property which is where they spend Christmas each year. It is such a beautiful Estate.

    My friend's aunt went to stay with Princess Margaret at Kensington Palace. After lunch they took their plates to the small kitchen, and tossing a drying cloth to her, the Princess put on her yellow rubber gloves and started to do the washing-up. Netflix missed all that stuff.

    I’ve been to many castles and stately homes, Windsor Castle certainly impressed me and my husband. St George’s chapel on the side of it was awesome, when I was standing in the aisle I was gobsmacked to realise I was actually standing over the grave of Henry VIII, imagine that aye.

    Hi girls another lovely vlog. As a Bavarian Prince Albert modelled the castle, with its turrets on castles in his home land. They are not normally seen on British castles. You will see a lot like this in other European countries. x

    • @jacquieclapperton9758
      @jacquieclapperton9758 Год назад

      You will see such turrets on Scottish castles from the 1500s onwards. Check out Craigievar Castle (Disney could have modelled his own castle on Craigievar, which incidentally is also linked to important UK transgender law), Castle Fraser, Crathes Castle, Drum Castle, and many more. It's far more likely to be down to the European connections more important to Scotland than to England and to the Auld Alliance than to a German prince centuries later. The style is known as Scottish Baronial in architecture.

    You’re absolutely correct. Prince Philip did indeed die in April 2021. Seeing the Queen as a somewhat lonely figure at the funeral was truly heartbreaking so it’s a small consolation that she shared her platinum jubilee with so much warmth from the public.

    Visited this AMAZING place myself whilst on holiday in Tomintoul. I can see why The Queen loved the area. My 1st visit was back in 2017 and I instantly fell in love with the area. I hire the same cottage and visit twice a year. Another location that I’ve recently visited on my last 2 visits is Loch Muick and Queen Victoria’s get away Glas-allt-Shiel. It’s not too far from Balmoral and a MUST for anyone interested in Royal history
