Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II’s great-great-grandmother, and husband Prince Albert, officially secured the purchase of Balmoral in 1852 for £32,000, according to Historic Environment Scotland.
Queen Elizabeth II spent her final days in Aberdeenshire, Scotland at the Balmoral Estate, her private residence where she has been known to be “the most happy.”
Just as generations of the Royal Family before her, the queen visited the estate on annual retreat during the summer.
