EXCLUSIVE: Queen Camilla headed up to meet King Charles at Birkhall on Friday, before the rest of the Firm join the Royal Family’s summer holiday at Balmoral this week.
Queen Camilla has joined King Charles on the Balmoral estate, before they are joined by family members for the royals’ annual summer holiday.
According to our well-placed source, Camilla, 77, headed up to meet the monarch at Birkhall on Friday where the couple enjoyed their honeymoon in 2005.
The property has been described as the “perfect retreat” for the King as he continues his cancer treatment and somewhere their Majesties can relax and unwind during a “second honeymoon”.
“Camilla has been spending time with her family over the past few weeks and headed up to meet Charles just before the weekend,” said the source.
“Birkhall is like a second home to both of them, they absolutely adore it. Not only is it where they had their honeymoon but also where they both enjoy spending time together away from prying eyes.”
Situated in the heart of the Balmoral estate in Scotland, the royal holiday home was once occupied by the late Queen Mother while in Scotland.
Their Majesties are said to be residing at Birkhall even when the rest of the Royal Family roll up to the estate next week to take up residence in the 52-bedroom castle.
Birkhall is in the heart of the Balmoral estate and was once a favourite of the late Queen Mother
Prince William, Princess Kate and their three children – Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6 – will join the monarch along with Princess Anne and her husband Timothy Laurence.
