King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to make a significant appearance in Edinburgh on September 28, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament. The event, which follows their return from Balmoral, marks a major milestone in Scotland’s political history, as the administrative body was re-established under the Scotland Act 1998.
During the celebration, the King will address the Parliament, alongside speeches from Scottish First Minister John Swinney and other party leaders. Their Majesties will also meet “local heroes” from across Scotland, honored for their contributions to their communities.
The Crown of Scotland, part of the Honours of Scotland, will be carried into the chamber as part of a ceremonial procession, symbolizing the rich history of Scottish royalty. The day’s events will be punctuated by musical performances from Scottish artists, including a guard of honor for the royal couple as they depart for their upcoming Commonwealth tour.
