The coffin of Queen Elizabeth arrived in Edinburgh after a six-hour journey from her summer home in the Scottish Highlands as crowds lined the roadside to pay tribute to the late monarch
The highly-choreographed mourning plans will continue on Monday. Charles will join the other senior royals in Edinburgh when the coffin will be taken in a procession from Holyroodhouse to the city's St Giles Cathedral for a service.
The day of the queen's funeral will be a public holiday in Britain, officials have announced. U.S. President Joe Biden said he would be there, although full details of the event and the attendees have not yet been released. "It goes without saying that we can expect large numbers of people," a spokesperson for Prime Minister Liz Truss told reporters.
Charles, 73, is now the 41st monarch in a line that traces its origins to the Norman King William the Conqueror who captured the English throne in 1066.The most high-profile issue has involved her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who stepped down from royal life in 2020 to move to California from where they both have heavily criticised the institution.
