A Rare Look Inside The Queen’s Most Private Island Mansion

The Queen owns so much lavish real estate that she’s bound to have a few secrets hidden somewhere. But guess what, folks? We’re about to take you inside one of her most private properties. And when you see what’s within Queen Elizabeth’s jaw-dropping island mansion, you’re going to wish you’d been born with blue blood.

More famous homes

That’s saying something, as the Queen already has a whole lot of beautiful homes. Buckingham Palace in London is undoubtedly the most famous of them all, and it’s housed the British royal family since 1837. Then there’s Windsor Castle – another massive estate in Elizabeth’s line-up. Seriously, this place is both stunning and absolutely huge!

So many rooms!

There are an astonishing 1,000 rooms in Windsor Castle, compared to the mere 775 in Buckingham Palace. We bet the Queen is glad she doesn’t have to dust them all… And the British ruler often spends time at the castle over weekends, though she’s got a few other iconic estates to fall back on.

Sandringham and the Scottish properties

When Christmas rolls around, for instance, the Queen and her family usually celebrate at her property in Sandringham, England. Up in Scotland, meanwhile, Elizabeth has two places to choose from. There’s Holyrood Palace, which is her so-called “official residence” in the country, and Balmoral Castle – supposedly her pick of the bunch.

Irish home

Oh, and the Queen has an estate in Northern Ireland as well. Yep, Hillsborough Castle is her go-to home whenever she takes a trip across the Irish Sea. But as we hinted at before, there’s another property with ties to Elizabeth and her family that doesn’t get spoken about as much.
