was presented with the Scottish crown jewels in a historic Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication in Edinburgh on Wednesday to celebrate his coronation., dressed in a white Bruce Oldfield dress, were honored with a 21-gun salute and an RAF Flypast.
While the highlight of the day included a royal procession and a dramatic flypast, perhaps the most iconic image was a photograph taken in the forecourt of the Palace of Holyroodhouse of King Charles and Queen Camilla alongside. It is an image the King hopes will send out a clear message to the Scottish people about the future of the monarchy.
“For Charles, it was very important that during today’s service he had his son and heir by his side,” a royal source told“While the coronation focused on the crowning of the king and the queen, this was a moment to project the future of the monarchy to Scotland. The Waleses shared center stage and this was very deliberate.”
The Princes and Princess of Wales, dressed in an eye-catching blue Catherine Walker coat dress, are known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland and their prominence at Wednesday’s service was strategic. The late Queen was keen for William to have an active role in Scotland and the prince accompanied his grandmother to Scotland for Royal Week in 2021. She also approved that William be appointed Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland that same year.
The source added, “Queen Elizabeth took William to Scotland on various occasions during her reign because she wanted William to have a connection to the country she held dear, and the King is doing the same.”
