VQ where did you read this as so many papers give different slant on things. The Queen is still queen in lots of independent countries so maybe it isn’t about government or independence but just showing the rf have links to Scotland. Does Scottish independence mean Scots don’t want them anymore?

Charles has nothing to do with The Church in Wales except
attend services when in Wales if he chooses to , just the same as all in Wales

It's not a political appointment. Timing seems a bit strange. I assume that the Church of Scotland was consulted and wanted this position created.

Really? Yet another "Let's knock the Royal Family" post.
There is probably a perfectly good reason that HM has done this. Something along the line of being 90 plus and no longer feeling she can travel such long distances . as well as it will be good training for the future!

...surely the most ardent royalist will find it hard to explain this. Please don't turn this into a generalised republican/royalist row. Just focus on this one issue.

How will this help Scotland feel part of the UK thus reducing the calls for independence?

Did the Queen have this sort of conversation with herself? “One is so upset about poor William and our Scottish subjects at the moment. What can one do to make them feel better? One will give William a new job title. Hmmm what could it be? One cannot make him the Head of the Church of England because that is one's job. What about Wales? Oh no they have already got Charles. One knows!!! One will kill two birds with one stone. One will make William happy again and make the Scots feel wanted. William can be the new Lord High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland!”
