Title: Royal Children’s Favorite Activity Revealed During Balmoral Visit, Queen Camilla Shares Insights
In a recent BBC documentary titled “Charles, I, Vi, The Coronation Year,” King Charles and Queen Camilla provided an intimate glimpse into their lives at Balmoral.
The royal couple shed light on what Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis immediately enjoy doing when they visit the Scottish estate for their summer holidays.
The documentary captures a scene where Charles and Camilla can be seen leisurely strolling around the Balmoral estate, accompanied by their beloved dog.
They cross a footbridge over a river, prompting Queen Camilla to express her delight, turning towards the cameras.
She shares that it's lovely to bounce on that bridge, revealing that every child who visits Balmoral runs up to it, spending hours joyfully jumping about.
While Camilla is likely referring to her grandchildren, George, Charlotte, and Louis, she also mentions that there are other young guests who partake in this activity.
The royal family traditionally spends their summers together in the enchanting Scottish Highlands, with Prince William and Princess Kate joining their children for a well-deserved break.
The documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at the preparations for King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation, which took place at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
In a lighthearted moment during the rehearsals, Prince William playfully teases his father about his well-known “sausage fingers.”
This occurs as they practice the moment when William presents the monarch with the royal stole, an embroidered band of cloth symbolizing the sacredness of kingship.
Prince Charles humorously remarks on the clumsiness of the catch, expressing his dissatisfaction and jokingly questioning whether it will stay in place on the actual day.
Charles quickly adds that William doesn't have sausage fingers like his own, eliciting laughter from those present.
The documentary also touches upon the topic of Queen Elizabeth's passing, which occurred on September 8, 2022, during her annual retreat at Balmoral.
Princess Anne reveals her late mother's concerns about the practicalities surrounding her death at the estate.
Queen Elizabeth's coffin was later transported from Edinburgh to London for her funeral.
Princess Anne explains that there was a moment when Queen Elizabeth felt that it might be more complicated if she were to pass away at Balmoral.
However, efforts were made to reassure her that it should not influence the decision-making process.
Princess Anne expresses hope that her mother ultimately believed it was the right decision.
She recalls a significant turning point during the funeral at St. George's in Windsor when the imperial state crown, symbolizing the transfer of the crown to King Charles, was removed from the coffin.
This moment brought a sense of relief to Princess Anne, signifying the conclusion of a chapter.
