King Charles and Queen Camilla have sought solace at Birkhall, a property on the Balmoral estate in Scotland, as the King continues his cancer treatment. This residence has historical significance and emotional value for the royal couple. Birkhall was once the holiday home of the Queen Mother and later became a beloved retreat for Charles and Camilla, who spent their honeymoon there in 2005.

Besides Charles and Camilla, Birkhall has hosted several other royals including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Prince Edward and Sophie, and the Duke and Duchess of Kent, making it a notable royal residence over the years. The property is admired for its cosiness with tartan walls, carpets, and open fires, offering a domestic atmosphere uncommon in royal abodes.

Recently, Charles and Camilla have spent time gardening and walking around the estate. Despite his health challenges, the King has maintained his outdoor activities at Birkhall. The couple celebrated their wedding anniversary and reflected on the anniversary of the Coronation at this cherished retreat.

Birkhall, named for the birch trees surrounding it, dates back to 1715 and was purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1849. It has remained a preferred royal retreat for over a century, continuing to serve as a private haven for the royal family.
