His Majesty King Charles III began his summer break in Scotland in the Castle of Mey. To mark the occasion, the King planted his own rose, The King's Rose, in addition to the Diamond Jubilee Rose Garden.

The Castle of Mey in Caithness, Scotland, also known as the Barrogill Castle, was in a semi-derelict state when it was purchased by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1952 whose husband, King George VI, passed away earlier that year.

The Queen Mother, who was born the daughter of a Scottish earl, grew up in Glamis Castle, also located in Scotland.

The Castle of Mey became a personal retreat home of the Queen Mother during her widowhood. She financed the restoration works of the castle to be used as a holiday home.

In July 1996, the Queen Mother made the property, the policies and the farm over to the Queen Elizabeth Castle of Mey Trust. When she passed away in 2002, the management of the Castle of Mey was taken over by his grandson, the-then Charles, the Prince of Wales.

Today, the Castle of Mey and its beautiful gardens are open to the public and currently run by The King's Foundation.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla usually began their summer break in Scotland by staying at the Castle of Mey before they will move to Balmoral Castle in Aberdeen.

Happy 87th birthday to Princess Irene of the Netherlands! 🎂

Born Irene Emma Elisabeth on August 5, 1939, she is the second daughter of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands and Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld. She is the younger sister of the former Queen Beatrix and maternal aunt of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.

Princess Irene created a controversy in 1963 when she secretly converted from Protestantism to Roman Catholicism and married a Catholic prince, Carlos Hugo, Duke of Bourbon-Parma, in 1964.

Prince Carlos Hugo (1930-2010) was the eldest son of Carlist claimant to the Spanish throne: Xavier, Duke of Parma, the Head of the House of Bourbon-Parma.

IWhen news leaked out that she was engaged to Prince Carlos Hugo, it provoked a Protestant outcry and a constitutional crisis in the Netherlands.

Although Dutch law did not forbid a Catholic to reign over the Netherlands, Protestant succession was traditional. And for the second in line to the Dutch throne to not only convert to Roman Catholicism, but to marry the heir to the Carlist claimant of the Spanish throne, had caused shock in the Netherlands.

No one from the Dutch royal family or any Dutch diplomatic representative attended the marriage of Princess Irene and Prince Carlos Hugo in the Borghese Chapel at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, Italy, on 29 April 1964.

But having been married to the Prince and Duke of Parma, Princess Irene is the only one among her sisters whose husband was of royal status.

Princess Irene and Prince Carlos Hugo shared four children: Prince Carlos, Duke of Parma; Princess Margarita, Countess of Colorno;
Prince Jaime, Count of Bardi; and
Princess Carolina, Marchioness of Sala.

In 1980, Princess Irene and her children returned to the Netherlands, initially moving back into Soestdijk Palace. She and Prince Carlos Hugo (who passed away in 2010) div0rced in 1981.
