This coming week is Holyrood Week in Scotland, also known as “Royal Week.” Every year, the British monarch travels up to Edinburgh for Holyrood Week and there’s a ceremony at Holyrood Palace where the monarch is given “the keys to the city.” The monarch – and usually some other assorted royals – spend the week traveling around Scotland, doing various events. It’s a big deal this year because it will be King Charles’s first Holyrood Week as monarch, and because he’s going to have a special coronation ceremony in Scotland on July 5th. Guess how the Daily Mail framed that simple fact, that Charles is going to have a lite Scottish Chubbly? If you guessed “they’re going to talk about Prince Harry,” you would be correct.
Scotland will celebrate King Charles ascension to the throne with a Coronation-style ‘Thanksgiving service’ in Edinburgh next week – but only one of the monarch’s sons will be there to witness the historic event. The Prince and Princess of Wales, who have the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay north of the border, are expected to join the king and queen in a regal procession through the city on Wednesday. The ceremony, at St Giles’ Cathedral, is a key part of Royal Week, with Charles and Camilla undertaking several engagements in Scotland.
Prince Harry is not thought to be attending the symbolic July 5th Honours of Scotland service to officially mark his father becoming Head of State in Scotland. The Duke of Sussex attended the Coronation on May 6th without wife Meghan Markle and flew in for just 24 hours to see his father crowned at Westminster Abbey, before jetting back to his home in Montecito, California.
Prince Harry’s likely absence from the service shows relations between father and son remain less than warm.
Next week’s ceremony involves a people’s procession of about 100 community groups collecting the honours from Edinburgh Castle. The procession will then be escorted to the cathedral by the Royal Regiment of Scotland and its Shetland pony mascot, Corporal Cruachan IV, supported by cadet musicians from the combined cadet force pipes and drums.
Meanwhile, a royal procession will travel from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to the cathedral, with the public lining the Royal Mile to view both processions.
LMAO. I honestly didn’t know, before now, that they were doing this big ceremony in Edinburgh for a separate coronation celebration, but it’s hilarious that THIS is the way the papers are talking about it. Like, does Harry even know? Does Harry even care? The answer is probably “no” on both counts. I would also assume that Harry wasn’t invited to Holyrood Week in general, and that Charles is going to have to make due with Buttons and Bald. Buttons isn’t going to hang around Scotland for the whole week either – given how many Wimbledon dresses she’s been re-wearing lately, I think we can safely say that she’s itching to watch some tennis from the Royal Box. Why oh why must she be pestered with this tedious royal work during Wimbledon???

Why another ceremony. Do they have to wear those same outfits
Especially that thing on Kate’s head, which looks to me like something pulled out of the kitchen drawer for Halloween.
The Dalmatian puppy pattern of the fur & robe always reminds me of Cruella de Vil
literally no one:
british media: OMG HARRY ISN’T GOING TO THIS RANDOM “MONUMENTAL” EVENT NO ONE CARES ABOUT TO SUPPORT DAD!!!
By the time july 5th rolls around in the UK, Harry will still be celebrating 4th of july in the US.
I hope HM attend an epic July 4th party with great food, hanging with their friends, kids splashing around in a pool or sprinkler, music, (safe) fireworks, and so much happiness and joy at the freedom to live their lives as they see fit.
They’ll be celebrating their Independence!
There’s a lovely irony about him celebrating July 4th instead given that day marks our independence from England!
Prince Charles looks so strange with a crown.
That’s all I got.
I think you meant King Charles, but you’re absolutely right. He looks really weird in the crown. I can’t get used to calling him King C, either. He’s been Prince Charles for too long.
They are both ridiculous/unearned “titles” so who cares?
No, I meant Prince Charles. 😆
King Prince Charles. In my head he’s King Prince Charles.
They have this Holyrood service and regal parade every year? With Chuck looking like the most over-dressed drum major in history? Then I predict that every year Harry still won’t be there.
As a former drum major I literally LOLed at and agree with this. 😁
As a former flag girl/marching band member: respect!!!
LOL @BlueNailBetty! I was never a member of a marching band. The members(past) of UW-Madison’s marching band that I know, were like me at the end of the work day whipping my bra off.
A few were known to wear their Violent Femmes or Grateful Dead t-shirts underneath.
They know damn well Harry isn’t coming. There’s nothing to hold over him anymore. Holyrood Week doesn’t have the pull of the original Con. This is what Charles wanted. It’s everything he deserves. Being stuck with Buttons and Bald until he’s dead.
This is like groundhog day for the rota people. I hope they are bored and frustrated having to publish the same crap over and over. I swear they just change the name of the event H is supposed to miss out on and hit the publish button. They deserve it. Are we sure Peg and Keen are even going to this? Keen is probably on vacation with her tennis instructor/pool boy/Tom Cruise right now.
Well, if WanK can’t make it (or can’t make it on time) I’m sure it’ll be reported as being their kids’ fault again.
The thought of Harry being there never crossed my mind. To my knowledge Harry has never been to Holyrood week so why would he be there now? The British press are so desperate for him to be there.
I do ‘t think they ever expected H to be there. They just need his name in the headline, otherwise who would ever click on “anothe chubbly, but smaller. Keen may wear something new”
Right. In the past it’s usually been Ed & Sofiesta that were her(QE2) normal co-visitors. 2021 Will went with her. I remember that we all thought it was the Queen showing Will some ropes.
The idea of Harry attending the second Crooked Crowning is silly. If Chuck wants a United Kingdom he needs to stop celebrating himself.
It sounds like Cannot and Willnot aren’t going to be there, so it’s absolute crap that this is boomeranging to Harry. If you can only say they are “expected” to be there….maybe put the full court press on the heir and his wife.
I hope the pony does more biting and pooping.
Chuckles’ delight and giddiness at FINALLY being king is incredible….thought he was pathetic before but this is just getting embarrassing. I bet he wears one of the crowns to bed every night…
Oh no, he can’t wear it to bed, he has to put it to bed on its’ own little silk velvet cushion with gold braid trim before he retires each night.
Harry was celebrating his mother’s birthday by passing out Diana Awards to the winners in LA, looking buff and tan.
Cain presented his in a parking lot looking bored as usual.
Biden turned his State visit to a 24 hour pit stop on his way to a NATO meeting. He is not giving Chuckles time to put him in a dog and pony show.
Maybe he did hear about Cowmilla telling her cronies, that he farted in her presence.
Will William be there? Is “expected” the same thing as “confirmed”? Or Edward? Or the Duke of Kent? Or Camilla’s grandkids? Or the Middletons? Or tiaras? Or any of a number of representatives from any of a number of countries who were attended the other coronation in May? This is going to be a tedious news cycle if every thing Charles does focuses on what Harry doesn’t do or attend. Maybe the pony will do something rude.
@Blithe , these articles just prove the point time after time, that the Royal family, minus Harry and Megan are a load of boring farts, and I doubt very much that Charlie will have even half the support in Scotland that his mother had. We will have bullyam looking bored, keen wearing another new wiglet, camzilla loaded up on booze and Sophie simpering for Charlie. There isn’t a single personality amongst them
@Mary Pester: I’m pinning my hopes on Cruachan IV — for personality, charisma, and overall entertainment ! Lol.
It is bizarre though, to see article after article focusing on Meghan and Harry — people who are so NOT involved in the events in any way. There’s nothing remotely appealing or aspirational about the rest of them — except the kids, who really do deserve their privacy.
There is nothing aspirational or appealing about the W&K children.
Mary Pester, Sophie may be simpering for William not Charles. Wm looked more happy, relaxed, and loving in the pics from his joint engagement with Sophie than he has ever looked with Kate.
@Not a Sugar : agree with you about the kids not being appealing, however, I can’t see how any kids could be looked on as *aspirational*.
@Blithe : “kids deserve their privacy”… what? Now? After wank parade them constantly? At this point, if Will wanted ‘privacy’ for his kids he’d best use scarves (ala Michael Jackson’s kids) to keep the photogs away.
@Renae, I personally believe that ALL kids deserve their privacy. And having parents who parade them around for their own selfish reasons doesn’t change my beliefs in this regard.
@notasugarhere, I guess it depends upon your aspirations. When I was a kid, the idea that I could travel widely with my parents, attend presumably child-focused schools and activities, and have access to swimming pools year round would have very much been something that I aspired to. Not everyone, of course, would say the same.
I can pretty much find appealing qualities in most people, especially children. Perhaps that’s an ability that’s not as widely shared as I’ve often believed?
I wonder if Mumbleton is going to re-wear her Party Poopers fake tiara
LOL, my first thought was that Kate would be there and tennis be da*ned if she could wear a real tiara at Holyrood!
Harry is chilling getting ready for the 4th of July BBQ. I’ll laugh if he takes the oath of US citizenship that day too – a custom in the US. That would wipe the Scottish Chubbly off the front pages.
That would be glorious.
It would be glorious. I want to know how many UK tabloids sent people to Jackson Hole in case the Sussexes show up there again for the 4th. I’m guessing the Sussexes were not going to Jackson.
I have no idea if Harry’s interested in becoming a citizen. But unless it’s been recently changed, there’s a law that imposes a 5 year minimum which those applying for US citizenship must spend living in the States. Harry’s well on his way, but not long enough to take the pledge this year. I – for one – will be pleased to welcome him if he ever becomes a US citizen. 😊
I stand corrected. Apparently, if the applicant is married to a US citizen, the minimum is 3 years.
Good grief, Charles is having another hat party for himself? Ugh!
Don’t these people have anything else to do besides dressing up in costumes and parading around to celebrate themselves for existing? Maybe if they ever did something substantive for someone else, there might be something to actually celebrate. Right now it’s just another dog and pony show….
The short answer is No. They do not have anything else to do besides dressing up in costumes and parading around to celebrate themselves for existing. But they do have a need to remind us of their importance; otherwise they might not get curtsied to.
Harry knows the Scottish Chubbly to some degree, I’d be surprised if he did not, after all the education they have received, and since he’s obviously not a complete ignoramus like the other brother, but is he even considering going there…probably a resounding no.
Of course, the media is just doing this for the clicks. I noticed that the Daily Fail has a “Harry and Meghan” section, and in some cases the Duchess of Sussex section even comes before King Charles, LOL. Oh boy, oh boy. They have a big dick energy without even trying, and the disgraced RF does not have one iota of the appeal that Harry and Meghan have.
A mini Chubbly? I wonder if Chucky will wear his actual PJs, robe and slippers? Will Cruelmilla wear her nightgown and hair rollers? Will William manage to stay awake during the whole ceremony? And will Kkkate wear a fake leaf from a floral arrangement she passes on the way out the door?
They have nothing to hold over Harry anymore. They took FC away from him and were bragging about him not having the COS role because he doesn’t have a home in the UK. These devious people are so bad at being vindictive and spiteful. They always end up with egg on their faces trying to be evil to Harry and Meghan. It’s unbelievable how they always screw themselves over to get one over on Harry and Meghan only to have to use Harry and Meghan’s names to ge the relevance they want.
@ Nerd, it is pathetic that in order for Brits to read an article regarding the BRF that they must include H and/or Meghan to drum up interest for KFCIII. What a “popular” king and RF they have.
As for what will be worn, we all know that Charles will wear his king get-up as he had to wait 50+ years to finally become king. And why is he getting anymore trinkets?? He has enough of them. Cruella will certainly show upon in her queen garb as well. I hope we have another propaganda video from Bald and Buttons!
So now they are just going to schedule Chuckles for separate and distinct coronation ceremonies in Northern Ireland, Wales, Canada, Australia, and all over the Commonwealth in order to manufacture stories about Harry not attending.
Canada here.
Hell to the No!
LOL !
But will anyone from the Orkneys attend the Con-Another-Nation with him? They’re investigating seceding from the UK and becoming a Norwegian territory. LOL
I’m still laughing over the fact that there’s a Scottish Chubbly. Charles is just reveling in all his chubblies. Do Wales and N. Ireland have a Chubbly too?
Well, Northern Ireland has always been treated more like a colony than a part of the Union so that’s unlikely, and Wales is legally part of England so they’ve always defaulted to not doing anything special for Wales (can’t imagine why Wales has been feeling ignored for the last ~400 years).
They wish! Harry isn’t going but they wish he was. They’d do anything to have him as scapegoat/decoy to distract from the anti monarchy movement in Scotland planning to protest this. I read last week that police is in panic mode and they know they can’t hold(arrest) people like they did in England. This is also why willy stop announcing his upcoming visits (Aberdeen). They can’t afford to have a visible proof of the declining interest/support for monarchy. I have a feeling it will be a much smaller affair. Might even have a media blackout and just one associated press video/photographer

@ Moi Rak thanks for the link!! I am glad that Scotland isn’t keen to have the King visit and are taking steps to ensure that they have the protesters to create their sentiment to KFCIII and his band of useless and charmless BR members along with the ride. May Scotland succeed in creating a strong message and that it gets into Charles’s thick, empty head. I am sad to see that they are forcing children to participate in this ceremony.
The excitement is palpable… lol
I am quivering in anticipation.
Kate crying. Enter Carole.
Carole: Crumpet, what is the matter?
Kate: They scheduled the second coronation during Wimbledon! And that boozehound seacow still won’t let me wear a crown to the event!!!
Carole: Darling, has thou already forgotten? Doth I not the one who fashioned you a crown out of aluminum foil for the first coronation? Doth I not the one who found buttons that resembled medals for the balcony at the Trooping of the Color and matched the children in Christmas decoration colors? Does thou not trust thee???
Kate stops crying.
Carole: We’ll simply fashion an outfit made from tennis balls and pair them with your white pumps, perhaps even a round shaped tennis ball purse to match. In lime green you are sure to stand out from the rest in the photographs. Of course a crown of tennis balls on your head.
Kate: Brilliant mummy! Brilliant!
Kate returns to practicing surprised bird expressions paired with animated crab claws in her vanity mirror.
LOLOLOL…….
Funny thing is that stranger things than this have happened with this godawful “family”.
Hahahah! Is Carole also the one who doth attached those vinyl-looking cupholder shoulder ornaments onto the Wales’ chubbly capes? Straight from the Party Pieces bargain bin. And props to “boozehound seacow”.
H & M at the breakfast table in Montecito:
H: Hmm, Daily Mail says I won’t be attending the foofarah in Scotland.
M: My, my.
H: Please pass the creamer, luv. (Turns to the sports section.)
“Doth I not the one who fashioned you a crown out of aluminum foil for the first coronation? “
Oh lord I’m laughing at this imaginary conversation
My first reaction to this article is, if Harry comes to Scotland where will Charles go to hide?
So after his father took away his house and his role as counselor of state, he’s STILL expected to go to their shitty events? I don’t even understand the logic here. They do everything they can to hurt him and his family, yet he is the ONLY royal they hound and blubber about to go to royal events–to be humiliated and shunned? For reals? So they rely on his honor and duty to shit all over him. Sorry, but MY GOD! They are a rancid, greedy, illogical, hateful bunch. Save all of us from such a family. And Harry, save yourself and your true family–your wife and children in sunny Cali with you.
Will Kate be allowed to wear a tiara this time or is she going to fashion one out of bits and bobs left over from mummy’s company again?
Harry attended his grandfather’s funeral in Windsor and did not attend the memorial in London. Harry has done his duty by attending the coronation in London, and does not need to attend the Edinburgh ritual. Really, this whole thing is getting a bit much. They have done nothing but have jubilees, birthdays, funerals, and coronations for two years. Pageant after pageant while the country is going to hell in a handbasket.
Dear God, not another chance to break out the Bracelet of Sincerity, the Sphere of Doom, the Scepter of Wanderlust, and Gold Stick of Ineptitude? Who will pay for this Ode to Chuck, one wonders?
Buttons must be fearing big time about hee position in that cult she calls a family she is working now more than she ever has before. And I mean work for a lack of a better word. I always use to say and still believe that they won’t be e divorce because baldstump still can do whatever he wants and she will just put up with it because she wants that crown badly and her self respect and morals be dammed. She never had any so why start or care about any now . However I feel like she been reminded that she can be easily forgotten and replaced, hence she is working and working and working her jazz hands to the bone .
Interestingly, when QE2 underwent the same ceremony in 1953 some people took it as a slight to Scotland that it wasn’t a proper coronation – that she turned up wearing her usual skirt suit instead of ceremonial robes and carrying (wait for it) a handbag! Is Charles attempting to right this wrong?
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_of_Elizabeth_II#Honours_of_Scotland
Also note that this ceremony had not been held since George IV’s coronation of 1822. Given how inclined Elizabeth was to follow her father’s example, I wonder what made her decided to resurrect this older custom?
Maremotrice, I wonder if it was because she was so popular. She may have done this to keep Scotland happy and tied to the UK. KFC should not dress up like before, because I think this time a regular suit would be appropriate.
Personally, I think he’s spent enough money. I realize it sounds like there’s a procession already happening, but how much expense is being added on to do this? Security alone would be greatly increased I would assume.
I suggest KFC stop with the whole ‘let them eat cake” attitude.
