I went on a vacation by myself. My wife is working and the kids are at school. My wife was like, \u2018I\u2019ve got the kids, where would you want to go?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I have always wanted to go on one of those luxury trains. So, I did that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his time at Balmoral Castle, Jimmy said: \u201cMy friend Eddie Burns, back in the States, I told him I\u2019m going to Scotland. He said, \u2018I\u2019m Scottish, my great-grandfather was Scottish.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, \u2018Give me something of yours, like some DNA, and I\u2019ll throw it in the water or I\u2019ll bury it somewhere in Scotland and they\u2019ll know that you did well back in America.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eddie gave Jimmy a tie clip from his time in the NYPD, and while he was at the River Dee beside Balmoral, Jimmy threw it into the river.<\/p>\n<p>But when Jimmy turned around, there were four armed guards watching him.<\/p>\n<p>He said in a clip: \u201cAnd then we have got some law enforcement happening. So, I might get arrested for this Eddie. But it was worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1172461 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BLU_A19706912-1024x772.jpg\" alt=\"Balmoral Castle from a wide cameral shot\" width=\"1024\" height=\"772\"  \/>Jimmy was at the river beside Balmoral Castle (Credit: SplashNews.com)<br \/>\nJimmy had dinner with the royal guards<\/p>\n<p>After his slight panic that he was going to be in trouble, <a href=\"https:\/\/royal-insider.com\/2025\/03\/19\/jimmy-fallon-meghan-markle-pretzels-the-tonight-show-netflix-with-love-meghan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jimmy<\/a> discovered that they were actually just interested in what he was doing.<\/p>\n<p>He explained: \u201cI turned around and there were four armed royal guards staring at me. They come over to me, they go, \u2018What are you doing?\u2019 and I joke, \u2018A little littering.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey ask if I\u2019m Jimmy Fallon and I told them I was. I said, \u2018I\u2019m over at Fife Arms but I haven\u2019t checked in yet. If you want to, I would love to buy you a drink at the hotel.\u2019 They said, \u2018No, we\u2019re good, but maybe we\u2019ll throw you a dinner.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later that day Jimmy got a phone call from the front desk, telling him that the royal guard was there for him and they needed an answer by noon.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy then decided to try to fit in at the dinner, and decided to wear a kilt. And as a result, he had \u201cthe best dinner ever\u201d and was even given a Glengarry hat and his own kilt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more: <\/strong><strong><a title=\"Permalink to: David Beckham channels King Charles as he takes over role previously fulfilled by monarch\" href=\"https:\/\/royal-insider.com\/2025\/10\/22\/david-beckham-king-charles-takes-over-role-previously-fulfilled-by-monarch-country-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Beckham channels King Charles as he takes over role previously fulfilled by monarch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of Jimmy Fallon meeting royal guards at Balmoral Castle?
