The Queen's Balmoral home is where she hosted new Prime Minister Liz Truss on Tuesday, and photos released have shown how the living room is almost identical to what it looked like in 1976
September 07, 2022 - 09:20 BST Bridie Wilkins The Queen revealed a rare glimpse inside her Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle, on Tuesday when she interrupted her summer break to hold an audience with new Prime Minister Liz Truss after Boris Johnson formally tendered his resignation.
Fast forward to 2017, when the then-Governor-General of Australia Sir Peter Cosgrove and his wife met the Queen, and the room seemed to have been kept exactly the same. The very sofa on which she sat with Prince Philip 41 years prior was still visible and located in the same spot, as were the photos framed on the walls, the wooden side table and even a bunch of flowers and the candelabra just about visible behind Peter.The Queen and Prince Philip's living room in 2017
The photo also unveiled a look at the rest of the room, showing that the sofa is one of two, which sit either side of a matching footstool and in front of a large log fireplace with a metal frame. There is a tall mirror mounted above the fireplace, and on the ledge sits two further candelabras and a gold clock. An additional white and green floral armchair sits next to one sofa.The home is located in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, surrounded by mountains, lochs and glens.
