The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children, have been staying in a separate home on the Balmoral estate during their summer holiday in Scotland
In a tradition established by the late Queen Elizabeth, the royal family travels each year to Balmoral for their summer holidays before resuming their duties in September.
King Charles and Queen Camilla have been staying at the Scottish estate for the past week, joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales. They are also joined by Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, Peter Philips, and his fiancé Harriet Sperling, on the expansive Aberdeenshire estate.
Despite the main Balmoral Castle having ample space for all invited members of the royal family, William and Kate, along with their three children, opted to stay in another residence on the property. This comes as Peter Philips’ fiancé undergoes the royal family’s notorious ‘Balmoral test’ ahead of their wedding.
The Waleses have their own private property on site, a cottage known as Tam-Na-Ghar. It was bequeathed to Prince William by his late great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, prior to her passing in 2002.
The humble home has only three bedrooms, with William and Kate maintaining the property’s privacy. There are very few images of their Scottish home on the breath-taking 50,000-acre Balmoral estate, which boasts 150 buildings in total, reports the Mirror.
Tam-Na-Ghar is conveniently located near Birkhall, which serves as King Charles and Queen Camilla’s residence on the Balmoral Estate.
