A Royal Retreat

Glamis Castle- childhood home of the Queen Mother and beloved playground for the future Queen- is one of the oldest royal residences in Britain. Steeped in history, tradition and myth, this pink painted fairytale fortress has been the family home to one of Britain’s oldest aristocratic families- the Bowes-Lyons, including Elizabeth who would go on to become the dominant matriarch of the modern royal family.

Now experts, including former royal butler Paul Burrell and renaissance man Laurence Llewelyn Bowen, reveal the secrets of a house that helped shape the world views and personal convictions of two modern queens- Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Elizabeth 2nd.
