While there, they can expect to enjoy activities like family picnics, barbeques, long walks, fly fishing and deer-stalking in the utmost privacy.

Speaking in 2019, a royal source told Vanity Fair that the couple stayed at the home with their three children. "The Queen has a lot of guests coming and to ease the pressure the [Waleses] are likely to stay at the cottage," they said.

Referring to how he was in Scotland when he learnt of Diana, Princess of Wales death, he told the crowd: “Scotland is a source of some of my happiest memories but also my saddest. “I was in Balmoral when I was told that my mother had died.
