King Charles III, in a historically unprecedented move, is allowing the public to visit Buckingham Palace and Balmoral Castle.
Starting this summer, members of the public will be able to tour the East Wing of Buckingham Palace for the first time.
The tour will include a stop in the room that members of Britain’s royal family gather in before stepping out on the palace’s famous balcony.
The East Wing tour will also include visits to rooms used by the royals for official meetings and events, according to the Royal Collection Trust.
The tour, which will run daily in July and August, comes after five years of renovations to the East Wing to „upgrade the historic building’s infrastructure, improve access and preserve it for future generations,” according to the Royal Collection Trust.
Also opening for guided tours this summer for the first time is Balmoral Castle, the royal family’s estate in Scotland – Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite place.
Tours will run through Aug. 4, and are only open to 10 people at a time. Tickets for the Castle Interior Tour start at just over $120 per person, according to the website. Tickets for the Castle Interior Tour with Afternoon Tea, which is offered to adults only, will cost around $190 per person.
Starting in early May, the castle’s gardens, exhibitions and grounds will also be open to the public on a daily basis through mid-August, as they are each summer, according to the castle’s website.
Tickets for tours of the grounds, gardens and exhibitions at Balmoral can be purchased online, with prices ranging depending on group size, age and tour experience.
