King Charles launches scaled back Holyrood Week

The King has been presented with the keys to the City of Edinburgh in an ancient ceremony marking the start of a two-day visit to Scotland.

His Majesty was handed the keys on a red velvet cushion by the Lord Provost at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, his official residence in Edinburgh.

He wore a blue suit rather than the kilt he donned for last year’s ceremony, his first as monarch.

The traditional Ceremony of the Keys signals the start of Holyrood Week, the sovereign’s annual July visit to the country to celebrate Scottish culture, community and achievement.

The Royal Family has a long-held love-affair with Scotland. Who wouldn't with all that beauty on show: Stirling, The Kingdom of Fife & St Andrews, Perthshire generally and the Cairngorms, the North East Coast, Ullapool and the North West Highlands, Gairloch, Skye, Lewis & Harris, Orkney...it goes on and on....

King Charles isn't ready to give up his throne. He still has to carry a legacy until his dying breath.

There are far more Royalist and Loyalist Scots and Ulster folk than the same in England.

Quick trip back to Buck House on Friday to swear in Starmer as PM.

NOT MY KING! Put the lot of them in Council houses on benefits and see how they manage.

Nothing like the devotion of a conquered nation.

Why is the royal hypocrite not dressed up in a kilt or somewhere cos play outfit?
