Just two months after the extravagant coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey, Scotland hosted their own coronation as part of their royal week.
In a momentous ceremony on Wednesday, Charles was presented with the Honours of Scotland, the country’s Crown jewels and the oldest in Britain. They consist of a crown, a scepter, and a resplendent sword adorned with gold, silver, and precious jewels.
This is the largest royal event for Scotland this year, with thousands of people on the streets as part of a procession and crowds cheering on the king.A Scottish Member of Parliament made it clear she wanted no part of Wednesday's royal activities. When asked by Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden to join him in celebrating the king, Mhairi Black made a face of disapproval and gestured that she was indeed not participating.
