The red box travels to Balmoral: Court Circular lists August 2026 engagements at the castle

King Charles arrived at Balmoral Castle on 18 August 2026 for his summer residence, but the work continues. The red box, the dispatch case carrying government papers for the sovereign's attention, travels with him. The Court Circular, the official record of royal engagements on royal.uk, lists engagements at Balmoral on 7 and 14 August 2026, including appearances "through the King Charles Gate." Audiences at Balmoral generally last around twenty minutes.
