European Royals Spend Summer at Traditional Residences

Denmark's King Frederik and Queen Mary retreat each summer to Schloss Gravenstein in South Jutland, a family estate used since 1935. The Danish royal guard continues daily duties at the castle even during the holiday.

Spain's King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia spend their summer months at the Marivent Palace on Mallorca, a tradition dating back to the 1970s, where they host their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía.

In the United Kingdom, King Charles III and Queen Camilla avoid the heat by staying at Balmoral in the Scottish Highlands, while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Catherine, enjoy a quieter break at Anmer Hall on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk with their children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
