Although the Queen was known for being primarily in London, with estates, castles, and country houses across the UK she often spent part of the year in her different homes. Queen Elizabeth II spent the summer months at Balmoral, the Scottish castle, and Christmas at Sandringham in Norfolk.
The Queen died at Balmoral on Monday, August 8, 2022, Buckingham Palace confirmed in a statement. Her close family, including Prince Charles and Prince William, made the journey to Balmoral before the news was announced.
Balmoral can be found in Cairngorms National Park in northeast Scotland. It is said to be the Queen's favourite estate and where she most enjoyed spending time.
