Curated Royal Experiences I By NoteWorthy

Pomp, pageantry and public duty. With a rare view of royalty and its regiments, witness centuries-old ceremonies across the world’s storied spaces.

From the Trooping of the Colour and Royal Ascot to the stately homes and castles that chronicle the history of British nobility, meet the people and places which tell the story of sovereignty, then and now. As summer’s social season plays out in England and Scotland’s soul-stirring Military Tattoo strikes up, these exclusive encounters bring you closer to each time-honoured Royal tradition.

REGALLY REFINED

Little compares to witnessing first-hand the salute of the Sovereign and the glint of silver kettledrums at the Trooping of the Colour. Seeing Ascot’s stately horses, and sartorial style, from the Royal Enclosure. Discovering the history of the Royal Family’s ‘Floating Palace’ with the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Britannia. Or reflecting on the opulence of Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors alone, so quiet that you can almost hear the click of Louis XIV’s red-heeled shoes. Many know the history. Few go behind the doors to unlock its most meaningful moments.

A SENSE OF OCCASION

True protectors of the realm, the Household Cavalry Museum welcomes NoteWorthy guests into a lesser-seen world on a luxury Royal tour of London. Leave behind the crowds to go backstage into the 18th-century Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall, coming face to plumed helmet with a serving soldier, and their steed. As the rhythmic ringing of hooves signals the start of the mounted Guard Change, there is nothing quite like seeing this iconic ritual up close.

THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD

For many, the Changing of the Guard is a must-see in London. For NoteWorthy guests, it is an unforgettable experience, beginning long before the crowds gather. Go beyond the gates of these richly storied barracks as the regiment awaits inspection, try tunics and bearskins on for size, then enjoy an unparalleled view of history in the making.

Tailor your trip

Highclere Castle

From silver screen to a red-carpet welcome, Highclere Castle in Berkshire opens its doors for an inspiring insight into British aristocracy. The set of much-loved Downton Abbey, this 300-room estate with parkland by Capability Brown is today home to the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon.
Balmoral

A personally arranged Land Rover tour across the grounds of this magnificent Royal summer residence sets the scene. With soaring Lochnagar as your backdrop, see the pine forest and sweeping landscapes beloved of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Those with an eagle eye may even spot birds of prey, snow bunting and a silvery gleam of salmon in the rivers.
The Palace of Versailles

Experience Versailles as it rarely is; serene and utterly private. There is a poignancy in seeing where history was made in the majestic Hall of Mirrors, once the seat of France’s ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV.
Military Musical Spectaculars

Seated beside the Royal box, with the British Army’s most senior musician as host, the stage is set for this very special concert. The final crescendo takes place on the rooftop at Horse Guards Parade, as fireworks light up London’s skyline. As well as lifelong memories, your ticket preserves the proud heritage of the Household Division, providing support for serving and veteran soldiers.
Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

In the company of Royalty, witness all the drills, drumbeats and drama of this one-of-a-kind British experience. Beneath night skies, the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade lights up and a true spectacle begins.
