James Hamilton Goddard, who oversaw visitor activities at the royal estate, meticulously prepared the Entrance Hall, Red Corridor, Dining Rooms, Pages’ Hall, Library and Drawing Room before the doors opened to the public.

Speaking to the Mirror, Goddard said it was a “beautiful place” that the king wanted people to see.

“We at my department were asked to put this in place and we have put this in place. The lucky ticket holders will leave having had a glimpse of the royal family’s holiday home (and) it is exactly what it is, it’s very simple,” he added. he said.

The castle was built in the 1850s and, as part of tradition, King Charles added his own mark to Balmoral Castle, as his predecessors had done.

As part of tradition, the King reinstated Hunting Stewart tartan rugs in the living room to recall Queen Victoria’s original floor coverings.

Tickets for the guided tour, which included afternoon tea, were priced at £100, or £150 for an adults-only experience, selling out within 24 hours.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield has responded to claims that King Charles told Prince Harry that his wife Meghan Markle was “not welcome” at Balmoral Castle shortly after Queen Elizabeth II’s death. “They allegedly put out that statement to force the hand of the Royal Family that Meghan could be there when the Queen died. And King Charles said ‘no way’,” she told TalkTV. The Mirror’s royal editor Russell Meyers told Sky News Australia that relations between the Sussexes and the royal family had not “improved much”. “The family obviously don’t want her there. It shows how very, very strained relations have been. And I don’t think we’ve seen much improvement over the last year.”

The tours will begin before the King and Queen return to the estate for their summer vacation.

The King made a special request for tea to be served on a replica of White Stewart Tartan china, which is usually used by the Royal Family when staying at the castle.

Previously, the public could only glimpse the ballroom and surrounding grounds, but the new tour allows a few lucky royal fans to also visit the ballroom where Queen Victoria held dances as well as where the royal family organizes Ghillie balls for staff members.
