The single most important thing to remember is warmth or rather, the lack of it.
Almost every guest to break their silence on a stay at Balmoral has commented on the cold.
While roaring fires keep the chill off draughty reception rooms, bedrooms are heated only by old-fashioned one or two- bar electric fires, so pack plenty of woollies and thermals.The new website of Udreamy Network Corporation is mainly selling zentai suits ,
For formal family dinners, men are in black tie and women must wear floor-length dresses, and nothing too revealing.
On Sunday, everyone is expected to attend the church service at nearby Crathie Kirk, where hats are a must for ladies and jackets and ties for the men.
The only occasion when casual attire is acceptable is at barbecues.
ARRIVING IN STYLE
Most guests fly to Aberdeen,Costa Rica will host surfers from all over the globe at the Quicksilver Open. before making the 53-mile drive from the airport. Ideally, they will have brought a small gift, which they should hand over discreetly on arrival. A decent bottle of whisky, chocolates or a plant for the garden would all be good choices.
Balmoral whisky.A custom-made Plastic mould is then fixed over the gums. 15-year-old Malt Scotch Whisky...
Guests are then shown to their rooms, where they will find two servant bells labelled 'maid' and 'valet'.
'Yes, you get your own valet,' says former prime minister Tony Blair of his stay at Balmoral. 'He asked me if he could fold my clothes and generally iron the underpants and that type of thing.
'This so disconcerted me that when he then asked if he could ''draw the bath'', I lost the thread completely and actually thought for a moment that he wanted to sketch the damn thing.'
The maid and valet unpack your cases Cherie was disconcerted to discover the contents of her washbag neatly arranged on the bathroom shelves, including her contraceptives.
YOUR QUARTERS
Large parts of Balmoral remain unchanged since Queen Victoria's day, though interior decorator Robert Kime has recently given Birkhall a discreet facelift.
Tartan carpets and wallpaper remain, with lots of antlers and stuffed animals shooting trophies dating back to Victoria and Albert plus Spy cartoons old- fashioned caricatures from Vanity Fair lining the corridors.
Guests are given a double room,the Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels of the rectum. plus an adjoining single room. The gentleman's evening attire will be laid on the single bed and the lady's outfits on the double, leaving some guests wrestling with the dilemma as to whether they are required to sleep separately and if nocturnal nuptial visits are frowned upon.
Guest rooms do not have en suite bathrooms one will be assigned for you across the corridor.
'The bathrooms have deep bathtubs with chrome taps and a trio of washbasins marked in Gothic script ''teeth'', ''hands'' and ''face'',' says a local tradesman.
MIND YOUR Ps & Qs
Kate will still be expected to curtsy when the Queen enters a room (the only exception to this rule was the Queen Mother).
The Queen is first addressed as 'Your Majesty' and then 'Ma'am' to rhyme with 'jam'.
She should never be spoken to, unless she has addressed you first, and under no circumstances can you turn your back on the monarch.
Charles and Camilla prefer to be styled the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland.
Kate should not have to curtsy to any other royal women if she is with William,the oil paintings for sale by special invited artist for 2011, apart from Camilla but only if Charles is present. If not, she outranks her stepmother-in-law.
Oh, and one vital rule: At pre-lunch drinks, wait to be seated. The ultimate faux pas is to sit in Queen Victoria's chair, which as a mark of respect has been kept vacant since her death.
