The trip is 'out of season' for the Queen, who usually visits the area from August to October. Royal commentators have drawn parallels with Queen Victoria who made similar visits to Balmoral 160 years ago after the death of her husband, Prince Albert. Balmoral is a special place to the Queen and it is where she and Prince Philip spent part of their honeymoon in 1947. The trip comes as the Queen is said to be falling back on her two new puppies as she grieves the loss of Prince Philip.
