UK Elizabeth II High and Prince PhilipHt Down last week, traveling to Balmoral Manor, Scotland for vacation as in previous years, before that the couple had spent more than four months of closed life in Windsor Castle.
Last Saturday, the queen wearing a red top and a plaid dress was photographed walking in Glenmuke Park near the manor, with Prince Edward and Princess Sophie along with their children, Louise Windsor, 16, and Viscount James Severn, 12, being with her. The outside world has always believed that the Countess of Wessex is the Queen's favorite daughter-in-law because the Queen enjoys her company very much. It is understood that the Queen did not go to church service on Sunday as usual to prevent royal fans from gathering, and this year the Queen was not able to reunite with her family at the estate like she did in previous years, and may not even receive any guests.
However, in the past, whenever the Queen went to Balmoral Manor for vacation, all family members would come to visit her, including her in-laws Carol and Michael Middleton, who stayed as the Queen's "special guests" in 2016. They were arranged to live with Prince Charles in his Burk Hall in the estate with Prince Charles, which was their first time living with the Queen herself.
In 2016, Carol and Michael spent the summer vacation in Scotland with Prince William , Prince Kate , 3-year-old George and 1-year-old Charlotte. Someone found that Queen Elizabeth II drove her Land Rover Range Rover during her vacation and became a "driver" for Carol. Not only did she take Carol for a ride, but she also took her out for lunch and took her back to the manor after dinner. Many people regard this special holiday as a sign of the intimacy between the queen and her in-laws.
Royal journalist Emily Nash mentioned the iconic incident when talking about Kate’s parents’ relationship with the royal family in 2017, saying: “The Queen took Carroll to drive together and showed that they were ‘very comfortable’ with each other, and I don’t think Kate had to stay away from her family at all. It’s obvious that this is important to William Kate because her parents are really accepted by the royal family.”
”We saw the Queen driving in Balmoral with Carol Middleton took a ride, introducing and explaining to her the surrounding places and interesting events. They seemed very natural in each other's company. The Queen also had lunch with her in Sandringham and let her live in Burkhall, Prince Charles. They were very popular. I can't see anything that would change their relationship in the future. "
In addition, the Queen was also found driving Kate out for a picnic on the same holiday. This series of events not only illustrates the intimate relationship between the Queen and Kate, but also shows the old man's high recognition of Kate. In addition, one can also see that the Queen completely removed her "identity tag" during her vacation in Balmoral, where she was just an amiable old man, a lovely "master". In the past nearly seventy years, the Queen has never stopped her dedication to the royal family and Britain. There are only these three months each year that she can temporarily take off her burden and enjoy the warmth of her family, but this year the Queen is difficult to get her wish, which undoubtedly broke her heart.
