Hello chums! Can I ask for some prayers for your American chums? Between the massive winter storms and the horror happening in Southern California, we need all the prayers and well wishes we can get! Stay strong, chums! Whatever is happening in our world, we have each other ❤🙏
Watching on Sky News Australia all day. What a catastrophe. Really feel for the USA folks. We have a bushfire raging just 20ks up the road from me. They are frightening. Apparently you have run out of water. Good grief! 🇦🇺
Definitely thoughts and prayers with you from Australia, a land of bushfires and floods, so understand the devastation you're facing. Best wishes to all facing fires and storms, and to those supporting them.
@YvonneCrean yes it's awful for Cali. I'm in Texas. Sending prayers for Australia, too. I've seen the bush fires, and they're horrible. Stay safe chum💖
I would love to see both places But I don’t believe the balcony should be open to the public, it’s such a special place and should remain such. Some personal rooms should remain excluded from the tour.
The balcony isn't open to the public, they can only see it from the windows. Only a few people are allowed in at a time and they can't take photographs to protect the interiors, I don't see a problem.
We are all the same. Some live im palaces some are poor But we all come with nothing & go with nothing. Possessions are just things.people who deserve praise are those who help others with no thought of self advancement...not accumulating masses of money
You're right. Charles has had his own house at Balmoral since well before the days he was courting Diana. Do you remember the pictures of her and later with the kids near rocks and water? Charles' Balmoral house. In fact, when HLM Queen Elizabeth went to Balmoral in the off-season (and she did, because we were there twice at the same time, once we saw her, and once our cottage neighbors ran into her walking her dogs while they were walking their dog) she would stay at Charles' house because it took a lot of staff time and effort to get the castle opened up and ready. She visited the castle but didn't "stay" there. The office staff is actually where we learned this.
All previous Monarchs have had their 'favourite private residence' and King Charles prefers one of the smaller houses on the Balmoral Estate. The late Queen Elizabeth loved the main residence and that was merely her choice.
The fires and later on, the mudslides happen every year, and has since the late 60s. The state has had decades to plan and control it, but their state government would rather spend the money, and cause homeowners insurance to increase everywhere nationwide to help cover the insurance companies' costs of covering the damages in CA. Poor government for decades in CA.
🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐 Howdy to all of y'all from the Texas Hill Country !! Prayers for all of the folks who are affected by wild fires in California. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Happy Birthday to HRH Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
And thoughts and prayers to you as well - do hope the rain and possible snow does not affect you. Greetings from Canada (with a daughter in Greenville Tx)
@juanezaling2816 Thank you! So far, it's just much needed rain. Most everyone is hunkered down right now. After the Snowmaggedon of February 2021, I am not taking any chances. Half of us don't know how to drive in rain, much less the frozen stuff! And Texas is not equipped for things like black ice, either. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
I agree with King Charles..upto a point, that the properties need to pay for themselves. But opening up the currently in use royal rooms is taking it a bit too far imo. I also heartily do NOT approve of the public being able to look at the balcony either. Some of the mystique around the RF should be sacrosanct. I hope he modifies these parameters. 🩷From Bombay 🇮🇳
Charles is a 21st century King and he is moving with the times.. Elizabeth began her rule before social media, before certain values became less important.
Neil👋! I had a most magical trip in Scotland, that included a visit to Balmoral Castle. If I can say something hard to define, it was the fragrance of the place, inside her walls, and outside in the gardens! A real treasure of a residence “fit for a king”, and yet restrained, even in its opulence. For me, an avid gardener, the vegetable gardens and fruit trees, that supplied the Castle, as well as, the glorious cutting garden, that filled the place with flowers, and foliage was a burning memory. May King Charles use wisdom in his economy versus deeper values. The world is a cold and blinded place, when money is the king.
Balmoral is on my bucket list next I have toured Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle next is Balmoral when I am in Europe again probably my last time.
strong courageous brave...? please explain...i am just a dumb commoner who sees kids beating cancer with a lot lesser treatment than kate would have got
@@umbongoapg, it takes courage to accept a life that is open to callous comments, the outright lies about her "death" & d.v., terrible comments about your minor children. Try it
@umbongoapg Please. I am happy those kids beating cancer are strong, brave & courageous, too...even as a 'dumb commoner,' you could have some grace & kindness in the new year.
Given the financial situation that the country is in - I think King Charles is wise to find ways to make the palaces and castles pay for themselves. I am putting Balmoral on my list of to-do's!
I am sure if Balmoral Castle is opened up it will be like Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle and only certain areas will be open. Visitors won't be able to wander wherever they please. I'm sure private living areas will be off limits.
@ So bored with this response. If Charles wants to save the monarchy for his family for the next 100 years, then he has to be proactive in removing titles before Kier removes him. You know Sir Starmer the anti monarchist but Pro Davos. Harry has been meddling in USA politics lobbying for censorship and the removal of the 1st amendment. And he wants the UK to fund him whilst he no longer is a working royal. It is absolute nonsense to say he can do nothing. He is choosing to do nothing. Big difference. Our country never prospers under Kings named Charles. I cannot understand why he chose that for himself.
He no longer has that power as of 2011 when the then PM pushed the act through Parliament. He resigned not too long afterwards, going to work for Rishi Sunak.
IMO the balcony at the Palace should reserved for the BRF only, that's what makes it special🌻If anyone can go on it it will lose it's significance because you couldn't control the behavior of the public (rude gestures etc) and it would have to be safeguarded and modified to prevent people from "falling" off etc. Disaster in the making.
As a born and raised American, I thank you for the good wishes and thoughts for those that have lost their homes and going thru the worst nightmare of their lives. Hope that you are doing well, and that you are safe and happy
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Catherine, Princess of Wales. Thank you for this story about, opening up Balmoral. I agree with Queen Elizabeth II, it should remain a private residence.
Happiest of Birthdays to HRH Catherine The Princess of Wales, the most beautiful, regal, wife, parent, future Queen Consort. May the Good Lord continue to heal you and bless you and your family with good health of mind and body. 🙏❤️
I understand the need to garner funds to maintain our heritage and, as Balmoral will be open for only a few months of the year, feel this is a very good move by King Charles.
Since King Charles has a house on the Balmoral Estate (can't remember the name of it at the moment) and doesn't use the castle, I don't blame him for choosing to open parts of it for public tours. Balmoral Castle is most closely associated with Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II, at least in my mind.
Balmoral and Sandringham are the monarch’s private estates. They are not part of the Crown Estate or the Duchy of Lancaster Estate. When Edward VIII abdicated, George VI had to negotiate to buy the 2 private estates from his brother. For KCIII, I believe Birkhall is his home in Scotland.
Mr. Sean, from the USA, thank you for the news and updates. Happiest of birthdays to Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Glad to see more snippets of royal life revealed. Thank you, King Charles. This was not an easy decision. There is no reason NOT to capitalize on vacant / interesting space. Set and enforce boundaries. Visitors will be happy to enjoy.
When we were there years ago, the Balmoral ballroom was part of the tour (they had some display items showing the Queen's annual Ghillies ball). Very nice, but shockingly modest. There were always curtains or shutters covering the castle's ground floor windows, so those walking the grounds could not peek inside.
The King is a very astute business man. He has had years to think out his strategies and he has been proven to be right. A little taste of all of these royal buildings helps with the upkeep and thrills the visitors. It is all very tasteful and tightly controlled. He has hardly turned them into a Disney Theme Park. Secondly, no to the public on the balcony. It has a special place in iconic British historical events.
I appreciate what the King is trying to do, but the Royal Family deserves the area's that are only for them. So many aspects of their lives are already on display.
Aussie here. I really hope access to the balcony remains out of bounds to the public. Balmoral is privately owned and should not be made public. Some distance will preserve respect for the head of state and the family in general, and the access is highly unlikely to add that much more to the tourism coffers. The cost of access is too high.
I'd love to go and look around Balmoral Castle. I've been to Buckingham Palace and walked around the gardens but this was before the extra rooms were open. I really don't think it's a good idea allowing people on to the Balcony, that takes too much away from the mystery for me
The King of England, who doesn't give a crap about his subjects, no wonder his dear mother our great queen hung on for so long! she knew exactly what he would be getting up too
I remember "Spittin' Image" doing a parody of Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive" in which the queen was singing "One will survive, because as long as Charles is next in line I've got to stay alive ", and "...I'll be just like my mother and I'll live to 95" 😅😂 Just brilliant!
Happy birthday to you Dear Catherine. May your dreams come true and be blessed with peace, good health, the love of your family and the world 🌎, happiness and contentment.
It’s parliament who is feckless. They make the decisions not the king but Starmer and his cohorts hide behind the ignorance of people who don’t know the difference between an absolute monarch and a constitutional monarch!
Removing Harry from the LOS is more difficult than you think. It would require the approval of the UK Government, and also the approval of the Parliaments of all the other 14 Realms. It is most unlikely to be unanimous, and would cause terrible damage to the Commonwealth. Also, the King cannot dissolve Parliament of his own accord, it has to be initiated by the UK gov’t-this is not the 16th century.
Good morning Neil and Chums i hope all are safe and well..prayrs for all those affected by the fires in Las Angeles ❤ and all affected by this cold weather especially the elderly and vulnerable...love to Neil and all our wonderful Chums ❤❤❤❤
Here in the US our White House - home of the President - is open to visitors - but not the family area! I’ve taken the tour many years and Presidents ago and it’s wonderful to see! Every family needs their private areas! So opening some of these British places can help in maintenance of these incredible houses - with restrictions, of course as should be!

I would think that the balcony might be a security risk for those not in the need to know.
Is this so that the Camilla commoners can be shown off. The real Queen will turn in her grave.
The personal rooms should remain private.
Only the The Royal Family should be on the balcony
Preferably an actual 'British' royal family 😂

It costs alot of money to run these houses.
All previous Monarchs have had their 'favourite private residence' and King Charles prefers one of the smaller houses on the Balmoral Estate. The late Queen Elizabeth loved the main residence and that was merely her choice.
Charles prefers their Norfolk estate it’s where he went to recoup after some of his C treatment. Camilla’s not fussy she’ll have any ol stable 🐎

So, Charles ‘bends’ to public demand when he makes money, but is tone deaf when public demand titles go. Watch the security bill go up.
It's government that has to take titles not the king .
It’s not just up to the king to remove titles. Our government is just as much to blame!! They both have to step up and remove titles asap.

One thing Charles can DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT.
He no longer has that power as of 2011 when the then PM pushed the act through Parliament. He resigned not too long afterwards, going to work for Rishi Sunak.
Unfortunately, the PM actually has more power than the king@carolb6141
The King is the monarch, but the PM has the power! This is why so many people are now asking why do we have a monarchy!
IMO the balcony at the Palace should reserved for the BRF only, that's what makes it special🌻If anyone can go on it it will lose it's significance because you couldn't control the behavior of the public (rude gestures etc) and it would have to be safeguarded and modified to prevent people from "falling" off etc. Disaster in the making.

I understand the need to garner funds to maintain our heritage and, as Balmoral will be open for only a few months of the year, feel this is a very good move by King Charles.

Balmoral Castle is not part of the Crown Estates, it’s owned privately by King Charles, sorry but the public don’t have a say, one way or the other.

😱110 per person for the inside-the-castle tour! Can see why the Queen liked it, it's not gilded or ostentatious.

The King can’t remove titles it has to be Parliament

Here in the US our White House - home of the President - is open to visitors - but not the family area! I’ve taken the tour many years and Presidents ago and it’s wonderful to see! Every family needs their private areas! So opening some of these British places can help in maintenance of these incredible houses - with restrictions, of course as should be!
