King Charles Hosts Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Balmoral

The traditional visit marks Starmer's first stay at the royal residence as Prime Minister, following a long-standing practice for UK leaders.

Sir Keir Starmer and his wife are spending the weekend at Balmoral Castle, hosted by King Charles III.
The visit continues a tradition where UK prime ministers stay at the Scottish estate towards the end of summer.
The late Queen Elizabeth II also hosted many prime ministers at Balmoral, including Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher.
The King and Prime Minister hold weekly meetings when Parliament is in session to discuss government matters.
Balmoral has been the Royal Family's Scottish holiday home since the 19th century, featuring a working estate with diverse activities.
