Typically, Charles kicks off his vacation by visiting the Castle of Mey and enjoying the Highland Games there.
However, unlike previous monarchs, the king doesn’t plan to reside at Balmoral Castle this year.
Instead, Charles will stay at Birkhall, his personal home on the Balmoral property.

Sadly, Balmoral is also the place wherethe queen died on September 8, 2022.
A nature enthusiast, the king loves Birkhall’s proximity to the river Muick.
“It has this wonderful sound of rushing water,” Charles once informed the BBC (viaExpress).

“When you are in the house it’s very calming and peaceful I think …
It has a very special atmosphere.”
“My gut is telling me that he will do the whole ceremony of arriving at Balmoral.
He’ll divide his time between Balmoral and back home,” Harrold asserted toBritish Heritage.
Like his mother, however, Charles will be aware of his royal responsibilities.
Charles will host official visitors, like British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, at Balmoral Castle itself.
The property will also be available as lodging for royal family members.
