The queen, more dynamic than ever. And if a week ago her presence at the Races of Ascot – worldly climax of the British season – could be read as the determination to go on, with her passions and her life as always even now that at 95 alone without Filippo, now the his arrival in Scotland a political move.
In short, Elizabeth II, not only does not withdraw from her commitments of a life on the throne – 70 years in 2022 – but the card that the United Kingdom plays in the increasingly complex game in recent years with Scotland tempted by autonomist or rather secessionist impulses (after the referendum a few years ago).
And as if to reinforce her message, her sympathy operation, the queen was accompanied by the second in line, Prince William – whom he and his wife Kate had already sent out to scout the Scottish Highlands last winter. And also from his beloved daughter Anna, Princess Royal: Zara, Anna’s daughter, married in 2011 in Edinburgh.
In short, it will be a Scottish Royal week, Holyrood Week as traditionally called the week at the end of June that precedes the holiday break of the sovereign in Scotland, particularly full of meaning.
One of Her Majesty’s first visits is to AG Barr’s factory in Cumbernauld, where the very traditional Irn-Bru drink is packaged.
Mid-week, in full Scottish Royal Week, on July 1st William and Harry will unveil the statue dedicated to their mother Diana in the gardens of Kensington Palace. Queen? Everything suggests that she will be busy in Scotland with her Royal week.
Prince William and Prince Harry will participate in a short ceremony to unveil the statue of their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. In the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace, on July 1, the Royal Household of kensington palace announced days ago.
Essential words like the ceremony will be. Prince Harry will be there, and I imagine that as in the past, the two brothers will behave impeccably on the occasion in public, British historian Hugo Vickers tells The Courier. Adding: In private? Who knows … but I don’t expect any involvement from the Queen or even from the Prince of Wales.
