Balmoral Castle undergoes maintenance, affecting visitor access

King Charles' team has apologized to the public regarding some changes happening at Balmoral Castle. The historic home in Scotland will undergo maintenance in April and May, which will affect visitors. An Instagram statement warned that scaffolding will be present due to important work to protect the castle from rain and snow. The Balmoral Works Department is re-pointing the castle's stone walls, which involves filling gaps with lime mortar. This maintenance can only be conducted during the spring and summer months, due to the colder temperatures at the castle's high elevation. While some visitors may face inconveniences, many followers on social media appreciated the castle's beauty. Comments like "Still so beautiful" and "magnificent castle" showed support for the landmark. In other news, King Charles has reportedly purchased a new property near Queen Camilla's home in Wiltshire. The £3 million property is called the Old Mill, located along the river Avon. Concerns over privacy and potential disturbances from increased visitors to the area led the King to make this purchase. The property has a history connected to Camilla, who acquired it after her first marriage ended in 1994. There are rumors that it could become a wedding venue or holiday rental. However, it's also known for issues with local flooding, which could impact the royal family's enjoyment of the home.
