Guard of Honour Marks King’s Arrival at Balmoral for Summer Break
The King inspected the regiment and met well-wishers as Balaklava Company marked its royal guard duty, which runs from July to October.
- On Tuesday, King Charles marked his official arrival at Balmoral Castle, inspecting the Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland, during a traditional welcome ceremony.
- Balmoral Castle has served as the British royal family's summer residence since 1852, when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert purchased the 50,000-acre Aberdeenshire estate, with the current structure completed in 1856.
- During the inspection, the King greeted Corporal Cruachan, the regiment's Shetland pony mascot, and later spoke with well-wishers who gathered outside the castle gates following the ceremony.
- Upcoming visits include the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, expected in the coming weeks, alongside Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his wife.
- King Charles reestablished the Balmoral Highlanders, a ceremonial unit disbanded in 1936, who now stand guard at the estate wearing uniforms featuring the Balmoral Glen Gelder tartan.
