King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla Parker were again crowned, but this time in the country of Scotland. Last Wednesday the English monarchs, aged 74 and 75, visited the city of Edinburgh to attend the special processions and the important religious service held in honor of their past coronation on May 6th at Westminster Abbey in London.
The pair of monarchs followed the protocol established by the late Queen Elizabeth II in making their coronation official on a second occasion in the Scottish country. Thus, celebrating a second coronation. On their visit, King Charles III and Queen Camilla Parker traveled from their royal residence in Scotland, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, to St. Giles Cathedral to witness the national service of thanksgiving and dedication in royal procession.
Following their arrival, a popular procession carried a historic set of royal regalia, better known as the Honors of Scotland, from Edinburgh’s famous castle to the cathedral. Where the event of their new coronation in the country took place.
For the ceremony, King Charles III and Queen Camilla Parker wore the robes of the Order of the Thistle, which is the highest known order of chivalry in Scotland. But it was not all good for the monarchs, as the streets where the Scottish cavalry parade was taking place were crowded not only with fanatics, but also with anti-monarchist demonstrators, who carried the now famous “NotMyKing” posters.
In spite of everything, the celebration was successful, officially crowning King Charles III and Queen Camilla Parker, once again, in the kingdom of Scotland.
