Is It Disrespectful to the Queen to Open Up Balmoral Castle to Visitors?

Is It Disrespectful to the Queen to Open Up Balmoral Castle to Visitors? | Loose Women

Yesterday, it was announced that parts of Balmoral Castle will open to the public for the very first time. Adult tickets cost £100, and if you fancy a cream tea with your visit, that will set you back another £50. Many are commenting that Queen Elizabeth II would be turning in her grave at the idea of people roaming around her favourite home. So, would our panel be interested in a scone on Scotland’s royal grounds? And is it disrespectful to our late Queen? Kelly shares her stories of roaming around Buckingham Palace, plus Denise reminisces on where she had a very unlikely cigarette!

No, neither you or anyone else, don't 'basically own' Balmoral. Balmoral is a privately owned estate. Privately owned by the sovereign King Charles, who inherited it from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth. Balmoral has been privately owned by the Royal Family since the time of Queen Victoria

It's not disrespectful . These places are astronomical to keep up , no reason why they can't make some money to help with the overall up keep of the place , with that said I think they are charging way too much for the average person to go visit . They would be better off charging less so more people could afford to go .

If Buckingham Palace can be partly open in the summer, no reason why Balmoral can’t be open to the public. Also, it costs a lot of money for a ticket, so it’s not like there will be loads of crowds to disrupt the building!

Osbourne is not lived in though. It was gifted to the nation as a museum to a bygone age as it was superfluous to the current Royal Family. Balmoral is a private sanctuary & in my opinion the King has a duty to upkeep that tradition. No need to let the light in.

Who cares if it is disrespectful? The money that it generates wont come back to the public anyway it will just go to the king's money coffers for him to spend on a skiing holiday or his pet farming projects so it's a lose lose to us.

@@LiftUpNotDown To be honest at a time of austerity and cost of living crisis I wouldn't want any billionaire living in it (the king or whoever else.) Nobody needs lots of homes with large expenses to be paid. Even if he did sell off Balmoral to whomever it wouldn't make any money for the Treasury as it is private property so it does not matter. The only people who would benefit I guess is the maintenance workers who get paid to care for it.
