More royal pomp and circumstance.

If he was crowned in one of his kingdoms, he should be crowned in the other. Both or none.

Wasting public money is turning into a national pastime.

Sorry, mistype (or maybe mis-brain) JAMES VI and I, of course.

Charles is King of Scotland separately from being King of England and Wales, The two kingdoms together make up the United Kingdom, and have done since 1603 when Queen Elizabeth 1 of England died without an heir and the throne went to her near nearest relative, Charles VI of Scotland (and Charles I of England)

If the shoe had been on the other foot and C Rex 3 had been crowned in Scotland without being crowned in England, there would have been one hell of a stushie in England, and people would have insisted on a Wesrminster coronation before he was considered legitimately king.

Imbalance?

Well judging by some of the reaction to there being a ceremony in Scotland BlueBelle, it might not be a good idea to have ceremonies in Wales and NI too.

I m in total agreement vivvq I didn’t know it was happening or what it was about but saw a bit and switched off quickly
I think it’s fine if the royals are paying out of their big pockets but not for it to be funded out of this countries dwindling money
Merlotgran and Lulugust so what about Wales and NI or are there going to be other ceremonies in those other two countries
People came from all round the world to London for the coronation. why couldn’t royalists in Scotland do the same

My DSiL and DGSs were there and loved it. I suppose the cost would be in salaries for the soldiers and bandsmen and police who are all paid anyway as their job. If such events didn't happen not a penny would filter down to those in need.

Good points merlotgran and luluaugust.

If this ceremony hadn't taken place that would have been wrong. It is all part of being British, Charles has a lot of Scottish blood. It is a small cost compared to what is spent by Presidents and Despots.

How would have the monarchists in Scotland have felt if the king had said, ‘Sorry, folks. You’re not getting your own part of the coronation even though it’s an ancient ceremony because I have to be seen to be scaling down events.’

Many lined the route

I'm no Royalist, but I have been enjoying the coverage up here of preparations for the horses taking part in the ceremonies. We were driving round the Edinburgh bypass the other day and saw them all trooping over one of the bridges to go off exercising in the Pentlands. And also playing a role was this splendid chap, Cruachan IV, who is the mascot of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

I tripped over this by chance vivvq and share your response. If KC3 wants to give QCC yet another 'grand day out' it should come out of his very deep and largely untaxed pockets - not ours. I wonder how many free school meals could have been funded.

Other monarchies survive without this constant parade of subservience.

If the eyes of the world really were on Scotland, I suspect they would be expressing something other than admiration.

I loved it , Scotland definitely does things differently!
