Queen Elizabeth II's coffin is leaving Balmoral Castle for Holyroodhouse palace in Edinburgh, Scotland today, the first stop on her route back to London as the British people say goodbye to their queen.
King Charles III and his Queen Consort Camilla will travel Monday to Edinburgh to join another solemn procession that takes the queen's coffin to St. Giles Cathedral on the city’s Royal Mile. There the coffin will remain for 24 hours so the Scottish public can pay their respects before it is flown to London on Tuesday.
In each Scottish town and village, the entourage was met with respect. People stood mostly in silence; some clapped politely, others pointed their phone cameras at the passing cars. In Aberdeenshire, farmers lined the route with an honor guard of tractors. “I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty, which have now passed to me,” Charles said Saturday.
Still, it was a sign of how some, including people in Britain's former colonies, are struggling with the legacy of the monarchy — and its future.
