King Charles' fans are in awe of the 'heavenly' new photos of his beloved Scottish home, Balmoral. The royal residence, a summer sanctuary and one of Queen Elizabeth II's favorite places, has been captured in all its glory. On Wednesday, the royal team shared three breathtaking photos of the gardens in the morning sunshine, showcasing the flower beds, immaculately pruned hedges, and the sun beaming down on the historic castle. The images received an overwhelming positive response from followers, who praised the 'atmospheric' and 'breathtaking' beauty. But it's not just the gardens that make Balmoral special. The castle itself has a rich history, dating back to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's acquisition in 1852. With 50,000 acres of land, it's a private retreat for King Charles III, who can do as he pleases with the home. Summers at Balmoral are an iconic part of the royal calendar, with activities like hiking, horse riding, and picnicking. The estate even has a dedicated picnic cottage, perfect for a quick escape from the Scottish drizzle. As a homes expert, I find Balmoral fascinating. The interiors reflect its Scottish location with tartan fabrics, plaid carpets, and mounted stag heads, creating a unique and memorable retreat.
