The British people mourn their sovereign… On September 8, 2022, Elizabeth II breathed her last at the age of 96. For 70 years, Prince Philip’s widow proudly represented the English monarchy. A heavy task that has not always been easy… Quite the contrary. But her most fervent admirers are formal: the queen has never failed the Crown.
It was in Scotland that Elizabeth II died in the stronghold of the Windsors at Balmoral! As a reminder, the castle has belonged to his family since the 19th century as indicated Geo. Many are the media which affirm that it was besides his preferred residence. If the monarch has multiplied the trips to the four corners of the world, she liked to recharge her batteries out of sight in her properties with her loved ones.
Some of them became his thanks to his accession to the throne, others came from his inheritance. Impossible to ignore the Buckingham Palace located in London which – has long been the main residence of the monarch. Note also that it has no less than 775 rooms and 92 offices… Not to mention the private apartments of the members of the Firm. Elizabeth II liked to receive public and political figures there. But also simple subjects.
Every year, thousands of tourists flock to England to admire and immortalize the building! Windsor Castle is no exception. Its huge building has forged its legend. It is also in these places that Meghan Markle and Harry orchestrated their marriage for example. Towards the end of her life, Queen Elizabeth II very rarely left this residence in which she organized countless banquets.
In the past, this property was considered ” country house “ from his family. As soon as she could, the heiress of George VI liked to put her suitcases in the castle of Hillsborough in Northern Ireland. Or even at the Palace of Holyrood in Scotland. In the middle of nature, Lady Diana’s ex-mother-in-law chained 4×4 trips or horseback riding. Same story at Sandringham. Not far away is Amner Hall, one of the residences of Kate Middleton and Prince William. There, Elizabeth II celebrated the Christmas holidays with her relatives. A tradition that was particularly close to his heart…
