Between celebratin­g Royal Baby Fever, the recent 70th wedding anniversar­y of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, the release of the newest season of Netflix's The

Crown, and a royal wedding coming up, this could not be a more thrilling time to visit the United Kingdom. Luxury Gold's British Royale 9-day escorted journey takes travellers across Britain to enjoy a selection of exclusive experience­s, including private visits to royal gardens, Edinburgh Castle and the Tower of London for the Ceremony of the Keys, an anc ient gate-closing ritual that has been carried out every night by the Beefeaters for the last 700 years. Guests will witness the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace before heading to Windsor Castle to meet a Military Knight who will describe how Knights are appointed, and what duties they perform. Guests can enjoy special access to the magnificen­t Edinburgh Castle, the Crown Jewels and Stone of Destiny. They will venture to the majestic Alnwick Castle for an afternoon spent with the elegant Duchess of Northumber­land and will explore one of Britain's most iconic castles, home to the Percy family for 700 years and filming location for

Downton Abbey and Harry Potter.
