Late Queen Elizabeth’s private rooms open to public for first time

The private apartments at Holyrood Palace have been opened to the public to mark her centenary birthday

Queen Elizabeth II’s private rooms at Holyrood Palace are to be opened to the public for the first time to mark her centenary birthday.

The 17th-century private apartments were used by the late monarch and Prince Philip in her official Scottish residence, and have been used by successive monarchs and members of the Royal Family since Queen Victoria’s reign.

Tours will see small groups taken behind the scenes by expert guides to discover the history of the rooms and learn how they were used, and will run for 100 days.
