Queen to visit Balmoral to privately mourn Prince Philip
Leah Sinclair
Her Majesty will be making a low key out-of-season trip to the sprawling Scottish estate, which she usually visits with other members of the royal family from August to October.
A similar trip was made by Queen Victoria almost 160 years ago, following the death of her husband Prince Albert.
According to the Daily Mail, the Queen will not stay in the castle but at the seven-bedroom Craigowan Lodge on the Balmoral Estate, a stone’s throw from where she and Prince Philip spent part of their honeymoon seven decades ago.
