Scotland Will Celebrate King Charles And Queen Camilla’s Coronation

Scotland will celebrate King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation with a large procession, a flypast and a thanksgiving service. In May, the world’s leaders gathered in London for the largest ceremonial event in seven decades, and the monarch and his wife were crowned there in Westminster Abbey. When Queen Elizabeth passed away in September, the 74-year-old replaced his mother.

The reason for a separate coronation in Scotland?

Before the crowns were unified in 1603, England and Scotland had separate monarchs. Because of this, there will be distinct Scottish ceremonies to honour King Charles’ coronation.

Humza Yousaf, the first minister of Scotland, stated that “The Honours of Scotland have immense historical significance, having been present at many significant ceremonial events over the past 500 years,” adding that “The Elizabeth Sword is a fitting tribute to the late queen as Scotland prepares to welcome the new king and queen.”

What will happen at the coronation?

There will be a Royal Procession and a People’s Procession with roughly 100 participants each reflecting different facets of Scottish society. It will take place in Edinburgh along the Royal Mile and will include hundreds of service members.

King Charles will receive the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish royal jewels, at the service of thanksgiving in the city’s St. Giles’ Cathedral. For the event, the Stone of Destiny, a historical representation of Scotland’s monarchy and national identity, will be brought to the cathedral. From Edinburgh Castle, a 21-gun salute will be fired, followed by a march back to the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Who will be attending the coronation?

King Charles will be joined by Prince William, the future heir, and Kate Middleton.
