    Thank you, what an awesome tour. I am 88 and permanently living in a nursing home in East Texas. With a lot of free time on my hand. This was a real treat for me! I visited And toured London in June, 1981. Loved every moment of it . i have also been interested in the Royals since 1952: as my oldest son was born in MARCH OF THAT YEAR.THE year of Queen’s Coronation. I knew nothing of the history of this castle. 😅I sincerely thank you for the historical tour and lectures!

    I can see why the Queen loved this location. Thank you for the video. I've only ever seen a photo of the castle and never realized how much the surrounding area is like the woods and meadows of western Oregon (USA). I'm glad she had a place to retreat to each year... to leave behind most of her daily responsibilities and the noise of the city. Miss her already. God bless the Queen and God save the King.

I don't enjoy living like a sardine or little fish on a tin can, but I'm not royal. Beautiful video also & I love the accent of the narrator. I did see the movie about John Brown it was excellent.

RIP Your majesty. Your 70 years of tireless public service will forever be remembered!

I don’t know about anyone else- but it strikes me her sudden death Doesn’t make sense - how she died 48 hours after being seen so healthy. She also was in great form at weekend with guest Rev Iain Greenshields for lunch on Saturday and dinner on Sunday. He gave her a wooden cross as he departed. Which she accepted. Then she worked Tuesday reviving old and new PM…/!:The she’s suddenly dead. No cause Of death nothing. All very fishy. What did she die of. Why no hospital intervention.

    Thank You. Wish we could see the inside as it is now.
    Last evening I watched a few documentaries about Balmoral and how Queen Victoria decorated it inside. Wonder 9f it has changed much or not at all.
    The movie Mrs. Brown is excellent. I plan to watch ot for my 3rd time in the next few days.

      I have just read today that King Charles is considering opening up more of the interior of Balmoral to the public.

    At 4:12 there was a male voice close to the mic saying “yea” as you were speaking! I appreciate this tour of Balmoral Estate knowing it was so beloved by Queen Elizabeth Ii and where she took her last breath. She will be deeply mourned and missed world wide. Love to all from Canada
