Next week, King Charles and Queen Camilla will be celebrating the coronation for a second time as they visit Scotland.

The royal couple will be attending a national service of Thanksgiving at St Charles’ Cathedral on Wednesday, July 5th, where King Charles will be presented with the honours of Scotland, the Crown Jewels.

However, sources close to Buckingham Palace have revealed that only one of the monarch’s sons will be present for this historic event.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, who hold the titles of Duke and Duchess of Rothsey in Scotland, are expected to join the King and Queen in a regal procession through Edinburgh on Wednesday.

This ceremony at St Charles’ Cathedral is a significant part of Royal Week, during which Charles and Camilla will undertake various engagements across Scotland.

Surprisingly, Prince Harry has not been invited to the symbolic Honours of Scotland service on July 5th, which officially marks his father’s accession to the Head of State in Scotland.

While Prince Harry attended the initial coronation on May 6th without his wife Meghan Markle, his likely absence from this service suggests strained relations between father and son.

In other news, Buckingham Palace recently announced that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have vacated Frogmore.

As for next week’s ceremony, it will feature a people’s procession consisting of approximately 100 community groups, who will collect the honours from Edinburgh Castle.

The Royal Regiment of Scotland and its Shetland pony mascot, Corporal Crushan IV, along with cadet musicians from the combined Cadet Force Pipes and Drums, 51st Brigade Cadet Military Band, will escort the procession to St Charles’ Cathedral.

Simultaneously, the Royal procession will travel from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to the Cathedral, with the public eagerly lining the Royal Mile to witness both processions.

Joining the King and Queen in the procession will be the Prince and Princess of Wales, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland.

The conclusion of the service at St Charles’ will be marked by a 21-gun salute fired from Edinburgh Castle, after which the Royal procession will return to the Palace.

An RAF flypast will add a grand finale to the ceremony.

The Government of Scotland has also made an exciting announcement regarding the new ceremonial Sword of State, which will be presented to the King during the National Service of Thanksgiving and dedication at St Charles’ Cathedral on July 5th.

This blade, named after Queen Elizabeth, will replace the existing sword in the Honours of Scotland, as the latter is over 500 years old and too delicate for further use.

On this momentous day, the Elizabeth Sword will be carried in St Charles’ by Dame Catherine Granger, DBE, in a role reminiscent of Petty Mordent’s position at the coronation in London on May 6th.

Granger expressed her honor and excitement, stating, “It would be an incredible honor to carry the Elizabeth Sword on such a historic day for Scotland.

I hope I can do it justice.”

She added that she feels immensely lucky to be able to play a part in what promises to be a day of enormous celebration for the King and the country.

The Honours of Scotland, Scotland’s crown jewels and the oldest crown jewels in Britain, consist of the Crown of Scotland, made for King James V in the 16th century, a gold sceptre, and King James IV’s Sword of State.

While the original sword will be temporarily replaced for the upcoming coronation celebration, the rest of the regalia will be used.

Lady Dorian, the Lord Justice Clerk, has been appointed to bear the sceptre, while the Duke of Hamilton will carry the Crown of Scotland.
