Kate Middleton and William are starring at the second coronation of Charles and Camilla taking place on July 5th in Edinburgh, Scotland. It’s a less formal and pompous ceremony than it was in London last May. There are no crowned heads of half of Europe and above all there is no Harry. But let’s proceed in order.
Charles’ second coronation in Scotland
Kate Middleton and William attend the ceremony Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, the titles by which they are known in Scotland. The origin of this particular title dates back to the 18th century when Scotland lost its specific sovereign after 1707 and was reunited under the King of Great Britain. Reason Charles and Camilla are being crowned for the second time in Edinburgh.
The Scottish coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla involves a series of events including a public procession of around 100 people, a procession of royals, a service at St Giles Cathedral where the king accepts the jewels of the national crown, and the Military Salute to the Sovereigns performed by the Scottish Infantry Regiment, also attended by the mascot, a Shetland pony. Will and Kate lead all appointments and are certainly the most important members of the royal family present in Scotland. However, it is still not clear if their children George, Charlotte and Louis are present, as happened in London on May 6 last year.
Kate Middleton Coronation Look in Edinburgh
As for looks, no rumors have surfaced. But most likely, the dress chosen by Kate has the colors of Scotland, white and blue, which were also worn at the coronation in London. On this occasion, Lady Middleton wore a white dress Alexander McQueen, the brand that marks all his most important clothes, so it is likely that he will also rely on him on this occasion. His outfit almost certainly includes emblems honoring Scotland and likely includes the thistle, the country’s symbol. It will surely be a pleasure.
Harry doesn’t show up
Surely Harry wasn’t invited at the Scottish ceremony. It’s already so much that his father Carlo wanted him at the coronation on May 6th. His presence was not even considered, let alone that of his wife Meghan Markle. The two at odds work to secure millionaire deals to maintain their standard of living. And if Meg has no intention of setting foot in Britain again, her husband has already returned to London after his father’s first coronation. But nobody in Scotland wants that. His absence creates an atmosphere of greater relaxation, and for that they have William and Kate to their credit, who are beginning to be the center of unedifying gossip between the Prince’s lovers and ex-partners returning from the past.
Charles and Camilla in Scotland
Carlo and Camilla have been in Scotland since the beginning of July. The sovereign appeared in a kilt, a traditional Scottish dress he has always worn very often, for his first ‘key ceremony’ as king, the traditional opening ceremony of Holyrood Week for the royal family.
Her Majesty then boarded the Royal Yacht Britannia for a cruise and reception to mark the 25th anniversary of her arrival in Edinburgh. This date also forms part of Holyrood Week events, the main ceremony of which is the coronation of Charles with the gift of the Scottish Crown Jewels.
