On April 09, 2019, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall visited Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland to re-open the Castle after an extensive 5-year renovation project. The castle is the official Northern Ireland residence of HM The Queen. In the 1940s, the then Princess Elizabeth enjoyed family holidays here with her sister Princess Margaret, and she continues to visit and attend official engagements here today. In 2014, Historic Royal Palaces took over the running of Hillsborough Castle and Gardens and began a project to restore the house and gardens. |
