The public will get to see King Charles’ interior design tastes as Balmoral will be opening its doors.

Visitors will be given an extensive tour of the Scottish estate for the first time in its history, allowing them to get a glimpse of royal family life in the Highlands.

From Monday, guests can go on a guided tour of a number of the rooms in the Aberdeenshire castle, where successive monarchs since Queen Victoria have been able to relax and recharge amongst local Scots who have treated them as their own.

James Hamilton Goddard, visitor enterprise manager for the Balmoral Estate, has been working with his team to open up the royal residence’s entrance hall, red corridor, main and family dining rooms, page’s lobby, library and drawing room to the public.

He said: “It’s a magnificent place, I think the King wants people to see (it). We were asked, my department, to put this together and we put this together.

“The public who managed to get a ticket will come away (having seen) the royal family’s holiday home – that’s exactly what it is, it feels very homely

.”

Charles has added his own stamp to Balmoral and he’s the latest in a long line of the kings and queens to do so since Queen Victoria and Prince Albert fell in love with the area and had the castle built in the 1850s.
