If you’re traveling to the United Kingdom in the coming weeks and your plans include touring royal family residence Balmoral Castle, you might be disappointed. The castle serves as one of King Charles’ primary residences, but it will close for unexplained reasons until October. The residence announced the surprise closure in an Instagram post. “Balmoral Castle, including the grounds, gardens, and exhibitions, is currently closed to the public and will reopen in October,” the post reads. “Join our mailing list and be the first to hear about our upcoming calendar of special events, tickets, exclusive news from the estate and castle, and the latest additions to our gift shop collections, all delivered directly to your inbox.

Many agreed.   Like this person who wrote, “Beautiful view.” “Beautiful Balmarol castle,” another chimed. King Charles doesn’t seem too concerned about the goings on at Balmoral Castle. He’s kept himself busy with his royal duties, including visiting the world’s oldest person recently. “Earlier this week, The King met Ethel Caterham: the world’s oldest living person. Ethel celebrated her 116th birthday last month, and received a birthday card from His Majesty: an honour extended to all UK citizens or those in UK Overseas Territories when they turn 100, 105 and every year thereafter,” the royal family shared. Perhaps when Balmoral Castle reopens, Ethel Catherham can pay King Charles a visit at his home the next time around. This Story’s Featured Is By Andrew Milligan/PA Images via Getty Images.
