But nobody stays in the city all week, even a monarch. On weekends and for much of the Easter holiday, the King heads west to Windsor Castle. This is the real family home—the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. It’s where the Queen spent most of her later years, and it feels more like a cozy countryside mansion than a fortress.
Which of his many homes will King Charles live in? - BBC News
Imagine your grandparents’ house, but instead of an old photo album, they have a stunning art collection by Rembrandt and da Vinci. And the garden? It’s not just a patch of lawn; it’s a sprawling estate with a working farm. King Charles loves to walk his dogs, the famous Jack Russell terriers, through these grounds. It’s his version of a morning stroll around the block.
The Very Private Highland Retreat
For the ultimate escape, the King has Balmoral Castle in Scotland. This is the summer holiday home, the one where the family can truly relax away from the public eye. Think of it as that remote lake house your friend’s family has, except that the “lake” is the Scottish Highlands, and the “house” has 50,000 acres of land.
Here, the King can be more himself. He enjoys fly-fishing, hiking, and having big barbecues with his grandchildren. It’s a reminder that even a king needs to switch off his phone and just enjoy some peace and quiet with his loved ones. Who can’t relate to needing that kind of break?
