Charles and Camilla travel to Birkhall. It was her Scottish love nest on her honeymoon, and after 19 years of marriage it is her haven of peace and retreat.
The Scottish country estate, located near Balmoral Castle, was inherited in 2002 from his late grandmother, the Queen Mother (101, † 2002), known as the Queen Mum. Everything here is as the two of them wanted it to be and put it together over the course of many years. It hosts the once controversial couple around the time of their wedding anniversary, almost every year when a peaceful break was needed.

Although the king had to undergo chemotherapy regularly in London, he spared himself little, held occasional audiences and led the family to the Easter service on Easter Sunday.
