Queen Victoria also spent her time grieving on the grounds of the same estate when her husband Prince Albert passed away in 1861.
After the deaths of Albert and Victoria, the royal family continued to use the home, with King George V making his own changes and improvements in the early 20th century. The royal stopped using the home temporarily during the Second World War, however.
Balmoral is located in Royal Deeside, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and is set amongst acres of lush green countryside, and the nearby River Dee.
As well as the Queen and Philip many other members of the royal family regularly visit the estate, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children regular visitors.
