This is really thoughtful.
For Prince William, trekking off to Balmoral in Scotland—reportedly the Queen’s favorite place on earth—was just a normal part of summer. But for the then Kate Middleton, William’s girlfriend, it had to have been intimidating to visit the retreat for the first time.
The now-divorced Peter and Autumn Phillips were married in 2008, so by this point, William and Kate had been together for over five years. Her Majesty obviously knew this was serious. “As a woman who has lived her entire life in the public eye, the Queen rarely lets her guard down, and very few, apart from her family and closest friends, get to see the real Elizabeth,” Nicholl writes. Letting Kate in like this really meant something.
Her Majesty summers at Balmoral throughout August and into September annually—in fact, as you read this, she is there, likely enjoying the family members that come visit her and take part in picnics, barbeques, and a wide range of outdoor pursuits on the estate’s 50,000 acres. Of Balmoral, one of the Queen’s granddaughters, Princess Eugenie, said in the documentary“it’s the most beautiful place on earth. I think Granny is the most happy there.
