- Formore than 40 years I have been taking photographs of the Royal Family at their favourite holiday home in the Scottish Highlands, covering the ups and downs of their lives.
It was here I first spotted Prince Charles with Lady Diana Spencer and broke the story of their love affair.
Then Balmoral was the place where the Queen comforted her son Charles and her grandsons in the dark days after Princess Diana’s death in Paris in 1997.
But incredibly, in all that time I had never been inside Balmoral - until now.
Since the Queen’s death in 2022, King Charles has been determined to make the castle the latest royal residence to open to the public.
On April 2, nearly 3,500 “golden tickets” went on sale at £100 each.

They broke the mould after Arthur Edward’s was born - he’s a one off such a gentleman I absolutely ❤️ him and could listen to his tales forever
He's proof that one can be gracious & respectful, even while doing one's job with determination & purpose. Like the Late Queen.
Brilliant Arthur thanks so much for sharing ❤
Lovely to see you on my home turf Mr Edwards, don't get views like this in London ❤🏴
Insightful, honourable & clearly an emotional recollection of your service to the Royal Family in bringing them closer to their people through your photography.
The Royal Family and, in deed, Earth are safe with Prince William! Wonderful!❤️🇬🇧
This man, Arthur, is truly quite endearing. 🖤
You are a national Treasure❤🤍💙🏴🏴🇬🇧❤️🤍💙
Excelent video , really enjoy your take on the royal family, both past and present.
I went on the tour of Balmoral in 2019 and it was so lovely. We were told that the royal kids used to raid the cafe for food after hours!
Thankyou for sharing Arthur Edwards ,you are amazing 👏👏💖😎🇬🇧
Magnificent views 🎉🎉
You are a gentle man, Mr Edwards - it was lovely to spend this 10 minutes with you!
Thank you Mr Edwards, that was lovely. love from me here in chilly and wet Australia x
Sir Arthur Edwards, absolutely ❤your stories and photos! You are absolute treasure. God bless and thank you.
Thank you for sharing these memories. Beautiful
Lovely photos Arthur! 😊
Hello from Queensland Australia, I love watching Arthur Edwards, he is so knowledgeable, a dam good photographer and a nice bloke. 😊
This man must be a good photographer and excel in anything where you need the ability to see joy and life in individual things. Cheered and inspired.
Thankyou for sharing 💖💖💖🇦🇺
Thank you for sharing this
I enjoyed watching that
Arthur just said, "Now our King, Prince Charles." 🤣
I was lucky enough to tour the grounds & ballroom a few years ago. I remember thinking as I walked down the staircase to the ballroom that Queen Victoria herself would have touched that very bannister. Balmoral is more stunning than you can even imagine. Whilst I would be the first to admit I would love to have a peep inside the private rooms, for me, the fact that I couldn’t added to the mystique. Personally I think it is a Shame that it will now be open to the public. I’m sure Queen Victoria would never have contemplated that her beloved Balmoral would ever become a visitor attraction. I appreciate however that Balmoral lies empty for most of the year & the upkeep must be enormous but the King can hardly be short of money. When I was there an old bloke was painting one of the window frames & another was repointing a chimney & gardeners were in the glasshouses all in preparation for Her Magesty the Queen’s annual holiday. As you walk up the driveway through the trees & catch a glimpse of the castle you can only imagine how excited the Queen must have been to arrive for her holidays. I am sure it was well planned in advance that she would end her days there. It really is beautiful.
Thank you, i'd love to go see Balmoral one day, so much history ❤
great vid thank you 💕
Love Arthur, such a professional.
Thanks for sharing.
This is a brilliant video Arthur. I went on the tour on Tuesday and it was fantastic and the places you have shown are super. I will show Mary the video when I go to stay with her in a couple of weeks.
@@sheilaclark6241 Hi Sheila, how awesome you got to go on the tour. I’m in New Zealand and would like to do the inside tour too when we go over. Can you tell me how you booked it?
Great video!
wow
Thank you, Arthur, for sharing your tour and memories of Balmoral.
Arthur Edwards, you are the best! I love hearing your stories as you bring them to life. And of course your photography is amazing. Thank you for sharing and I could listen to you talking about the Royal Family for hours. What an amazing career you've had and continue to have.
What a lovely gracious respectful knowledgeable man❤
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I loved all of it. Sending love from Tennessee.
Mr Edwards l have so much respect for you and love your reminices about the royal family and your experiences photographing them. Wonderful to see you have a ticket to Balmoral.
...aaw Arthur, I'm so pleased for you ,being able to finally see that the inside matches the beauty of the setting...a lovely video too, thank you.
Really enjoyed every minute of this and it was so interesting to hear about Balmoral from Mr Edwards' perspective. Please can we have more similar videos with him ❤
You’ll have to hurry,the house is only open for a month,and it’s by ticket only no more than 40 people each day. No photos or filming allowed.
That is beautiful country, Arthur!
lovely video from the legendary Arthur Edwards. I see that he is using Sony equipment now. he used to be a Nikon man. I suspect it is lighter for him to carry.
My dog would live Balmoral beautiful place
❤❤❤❤
Thank you Arthur for giving us a tour. I would love to go one day,it’s beautiful !

Evety room...but none shown??

Send this to the King! Love Arthur.
Prince Philip made the queen laugh just like Camilla makes the King
In between his affairs with blond, horsey women
I just love the stories and history that Arthur shares. This trip is on my bucket list. ❤
Such a kind man and always a joy to watch.
Just wonderful, thank you Mr Edwards
Arthur is the only media person who I am more than happy to listen to. He deserves a Sir ❤. If only all UK media representatives could behave like him...
Mr. Edwards is so charming. Someone should have given him his own travel series years ago!
It’s beautiful, I want to go there one day.
£50 to see 4 rooms and the Sir Jimmy memorial garden. Another £50 and you can get tea and a scone.
Get a job and you too can visit.
Awesome Arthur. You and King Charles have been a good team. I see your ticket toBalmoral interior was an invitation. So there you are.

Thank you Mr Edwards. Please can you present more videos that share your unique insight into historical moments. A magnificent and serene setting for our late gracious Queen Elizabeth II to bid farewell and give òne last wonderful wave.
I LOVE ARTHUR EDWARDS! Please make more films with him.
Aww bless you Arthur ❤
I was quite surprised there's a statute of John Brown, on the dining table yet. There must be a sense of humor in that.
The Ghillie John Brown.
How very sad that Harry met that awful woman, she has destroyed him, those wonderful halcyon days lost for what? A woman that will do anything a man wants! So bloody what, so would a rubber doll🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼
Sad for you. Harry is where he wants to be now.
@@Maraquinn Then WHY do they persist in harassing and demanding to be taken back in by the RF and be funded and cared for?? WHY do they persist in demanding special status and privileges they are NOT entitled to? WHY do they persist in using and exploiting meaningless titles?? WHY do they persist in trying to grift and merch off the RF with that ridiculous bogus merch site??
@@Maraquinn sad for who? I’m old and happy? Strange response?
Shame the price to expensive for our family as I am a carer for my autistic son so we cannot afford it....😂😂😂
WE are in 21st century, the contry has thé Big problèmes.
Sun 📺🗣️🗣️ STOP Matt Wilkinson to speak on the pass with the olds women and men.
@thereseayokor328 To be honest, I understand what you are saying, but many people enjoy learning about history, and following the royals is a nice distraction from all the bad news that comes at us from all angles daily. News of the royals (and Phillies baseball) is keeping me sane until the November U.S. Presidential election - LOL!
@@lisalivingston6473 lol, same here! I don’t understand why we must think about all of the problems of the world every moment. People need to give it a rest once in a while.
@@ErinAbouI know, right? I truly think people would be much happier if they injected some fun into their days. It helps to counterbalance all the bad news that often comes at us from every angle. Of course, the Phillies lost today, so I'll have to do something fun to get over their second loss in a row - LOL! Still, there is plenty of promise for a "Red October"! 😊❤❤❤❤❤
The man who lied that Camilla never say Archie until he show her on the phone and reciept show Camilla at the christening
That "christening pic" has been debunked - GROSS photoshopping BS.
