King Charles has arrived at Balmoral Castle in Scotland to begin the royal family’s traditional summer retreat at the historic estate.<\/p>\n

Princess Anne is expected to join the King at Balmoral following her current sailing holiday around western Scotland with husband Sir Tim Laurence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to reports, the Princess Royal, who recently celebrated her 75th birthday, has been enjoying time aboard their yacht Ballochbuie before the family gathering.<\/p>\n

The couple’s sailing trips around Scotland’s western waters have become an annual tradition, with both described as keen sailors who have been making these voyages without staff for many years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The yacht takes its name from an ancient Caledonian forest located on the Balmoral estate itself.<\/p>\n

Sources describe sailing as Princess Anne’s “happy place,” reflecting her long-standing passion for maritime activities and preference for private family time away from official duties.<\/p>\n

Prince William and Kate Middleton are also expected to join the King at the Scottish estate, continuing the family’s decades-old tradition of spending late summer at Balmoral.\u00a0<\/p>\n
