On August 9, 2021, Queen Elizabeth II arrived at Balmoral Castle in Ballater, Aberdeenshire for her summer holiday. In a small welcoming ceremony that took place outside the Castle gates, The Queen inspected a Guard of Honour formed of the 5 SCOTS, Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
During the ceremony, The Royal Regiment of Scotland’s Mascot, Shetland Pony Lance Corporal Cruachan IV was also present. The Queen will spend her first summer at the Castle without her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away in April at the age of 99. The Queen usually stays at Balmoral Castle until early October.
Lors de son arrivée à Balmoral, la reine arborait –comme chaque année- sa broche insigne du Royal Régiment of Scotland - Magnifique, lumineuse dans un manteau léger « fuchsia » au délicat petit boutonnage accompagné d'un chapeau fleuri de la même couleur ainsi qu’une robe estivale que je crois voir imprimée - Bonnes vacances d’été à la Reine !
ReplyDeleteA joyous vision in pink. This will be the first time she has been at Balmoral without Prince Philip. I hope that all the same the Queen will be able to relax and enjoy her time In Scotland. We love her.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks stunning in the pink outfit. Wishing her a restful vacation with family.

The sombre colour of the Scottish sky helps the colour to stand out even more.
DeleteHappy holiday to her Majesty.
Excuse me, deadeggs! What sombre Scottish sky??? We have plenty of those for sure but there were sunny blue skies at Balmoral yesterday.
DeleteYeah, I too am wondering what 'sombre colour of the Scottish sky' is being referred to, since there is not a scrap of any sky to be seen in the above photos. In fact the shadows cast on the ground indicate a bright and sunny day.

ReplyDeleteNow that is a queen.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the meaning of your comment?
DeleteHer majesty is elegant, cordial and a true leader. She has carried out her reign with dignity and good humor.
DeleteThe queen arrived obviously in a good mood, fortunately. Her joy may be spoiled by the news of today about prince Andrew. She is not responsible for that but it will inevitably affect her.
ReplyDeleteI hope she enjoys her holidays!
ReplyDeleteIn several of these pictures, the guard must be a substantial gentleman, or a trick of the camera makes her Majesty appear particularly diminutive. Her shoulder and his waistbelt are nearly equal. Long may she reign.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so lovely in these bright tones, pinks and blues especially. She, of course, has her proper Royal Regiment of Scotland badge. Her smile and amazing faithfulness are beyond words, such strength in such a tiny lady. Always lovely to see her - such a commanding figure with soldiers and with the horse.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth looks lovely; no doubt she can't wait to get inside, get changed and head out across the estate in the LandRover. It is so picturesque around Balmoral.
ReplyDeleteThe giant guard and the beautiful queen.
ReplyDeleteWonder why they transposed the queen, or the guard into the photos, the guard is NOT that big. lol.
She is looking well.
HM is always stunning have a nice summer break keep safe
ReplyDeleteLove the queen. God bless her.
ReplyDeleteMay she have a wonderful summer holiday.
Her clothing and dress style is beautiful.
Where is HRH the prince of wales
ReplyDeleteThe HRH, Prince of Wales, Prince Charles (then in 2022 January) was making his way to Scotland. This was an Event that Queen Elizabeth II always undertakes and since her sweet husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, needed to retire from Duty, Q.E.II usually would attends this meeting by hers
DeleteWhat have they done to Diana.
ReplyDeleteThe British Royal Family didn't do anything to Diana. Diana sadly died in a car crash that may not have happened, if better judgement was made on that day + evening, by Diana herself, Dodi, the drunken driver + others involved. No member of the Royals were in France on the ill fated evening.
DeleteI love you mum .
ReplyDeleteI love you.
