King Charles and Queen Camilla will travel to Scotland

King Charles and Queen Camilla will attend the opening of the new Scottish Parliament on June 27, in what has been called a "milestone" occasion.

The monarch is scheduled to deliver a speech at the official launching of the parliamentary term that follows the Holyrood elections held in May.

The event brings together elected representatives, cultural performers, and community figures to mark the beginning of the new legislative session.

The local media reported that an entertainment programme will showcase Scottish artistic talent, with contributions from both the National Theatre of Scotland and the National Youth Choir of Scotland.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will meet "local heroes" nominated by MSPs from constituencies and regions throughout Scotland following the formal proceedings.

The royal couple previously visited Holyrood in 2024 when the Parliament celebrated its 25th anniversary.
