In a tradition established by the late Queen Elizabeth, the Royal family<\/a> annually travel to Balmoral for their summer holidays before returning to their Royal duties in September.<\/p>\n

King Charles and Queen Camilla have spent the past week at the Scottish residence, joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a>, as well as Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, Peter Philips and his fiance\u0301 Harriet Sperling on the vast Aberdeenshire estate.<\/p>\n

Despite the main Balmoral castle having plenty of space for all, William and Kate, along with their three children, chose to stay in a separate house on the estate. This comes as Peter Philips’ fiance\u0301 undergoes the notorious ‘Balmoral test’ ahead of their wedding.<\/p>\n

The Waleses have their own private property on site, a cottage known as Tam-Na-Ghar, which was gifted to Prince William by his late great grandmother, the Queen Mother, prior to her passing in 2002.<\/p>\n

The property has three bedrooms, with William and Kate keeping a high level of privacy, with very few images available of their Scottish home on the impressive 50,000-acre Balmoral estate, which has 150 buildings in total, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tam-Na-Ghar is near Birkhall, which serves as King Charles and Queen Camilla’s residence on the Balmoral Estate.<\/p>\n

During their summer holidays in Balmoral, the Royal family<\/a> attended a Sunday church service together, which a body language expert has interpreted as a display of “relaxed unity”.<\/p>\n

Body language specialist Judi James suggested that the royals appeared “relaxed” in each other’s company and in front of the cameras, with the King particularly appreciative of the unified front presented by his nearest family.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Mirror, she said: “Being photographed in the car at a family event is not the royals’ favourite pastime, and they can often suggest via their body language that it is something of an ordeal or an intrusion.<\/p>\n

“But here the entire top tier seem to be keen to signal a form of relaxed unity, employing smiles and facial expressions that make this look like a positive family outing, and devoid of the more ‘set’ royal smiles that might suggest formality.<\/p>\n

“Charles seems to have wound his window down to be more visible here and his occasionally ‘chuckling’ smile suggests an appreciation of having some of his closest family members around.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Each year, the royal family travel to Balmoral for their summer holidays 09:50, 26 Aug 2025Updated 09:51, 26…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,1760,9729,2832,7710,519,2417],"class_list":{"0":"post-374884","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-charles","10":"tag-charles-iii","11":"tag-king-charles","12":"tag-prince-charles","13":"tag-prince-of-wales","14":"tag-royal-families","15":"tag-royal-family","16":"tag-the-queen"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115095003880337014","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
