King Charles and Queen Camilla will attend a National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication at St Giles' Cathedral on Wednesday for a second Coronation ceremony in Scotland
Celebrations to mark the King and Queen’s Coronation have begun in Scotland with a people’s procession through the streets of Edinburgh.
The Honours of Scotland are the oldest Crown Jewels in Britain and have been present at many of the major royal ceremonial events over the past five centuries. However, the King will receive a new sword at the ceremony, because the Sword of State, gifted to James IV by Pope Julius II in 1507, is said to be in a very fragile condition.
Why is the King having a second Coronation? King Charles has a second Coronation in Scotland to mark the fact he is not only the King of England but also the King of Great Britain, following the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
