“Heaven in the Highlands
Balmoral’s castle and grounds--partially designed by Prince Albert--are open to visitors April through July.”
― People Magazine, People: The Royals: Their Lives, Loves, and Secrets

“It was a gift from her husband, Prince Albert--though he neglected to wrap it--in 1852, and soon Queen Victoria had dubbed Balmoral, a remote 50,000-acre Scottish estate, “my dear paradise in the highlands.” For generations since, usually in summer, the royals have immersed themselves in local culture: donning kilts, downing kippers and eggs and waking each morning to a lone piper playing outside the Queen’s bedroom window. Removed from many of their daily duties and the paparazzi, the royals are free to mix with the locals: e.g., playing in cricket matches organized by Prince Edward and showing off their Scottish folk-dancing skills at an annual ball for the estate’s workers. Sound like fun? You can do it too. For many years the Queen has rented out several historic cottages on the grounds--some within 300 yards of the castle--for up to $2,000 a week.”

“As it was to the millions of strangers who soaked up every detail from Diana’s meringue-confection dress and its 25-ft. train, both wrinkled from the coach ride, to the couple’s slight stumbles during their vows. (Diana would pledge herself to “Philip Charles Arthur George,” transposing the first two names and prompting Prince Andrew to say with a laugh, “She’s married my father.”) The groom’s grandmum misted up during the ceremony; his mother beamed.”

“Kelly settled into a traditional role as royal consort and became a devoted mother to three children. She died, aged 52, in a car crash in 1982, and Monaco--and its prince--were never the same. Biographer Jeffrey Robinson later asked Rainier about remarrying and was told, “How could I? Everywhere I go, I see Grace.”

“Now the world waits to see if Kate’s wardrobe will include a tiara or two. A friend cautions, “They’re young,” but Wade says, “They had a couple of idyllic years in St. Andrews. I expect he won’t wait too long [to propose].” Until then, pal Williamson points out, Kate sparkles on her own: “William really has picked an absolute diamond.”

“Impeccable tailoring has helped make Prince Charles the king of London’s menswear mecca, Savile Row, where high-end shops sometimes bear his royal warrant (a tri-feathered heraldic badge of approval). His look is timeless: sharply cut double-breasted suits, shirts with spread collars, bold rep ties and pocket squares. The prince has single-handedly kept the double-breasted look in fashion since the ’80s, but he’s not afraid to take a risk, pressing on with linen suits after the press bashed his rumpled appearance. “He couldn’t care less,” says his former personal tailor Thomas Mahon. “He even ordered another.”
