From Holyroodhouse, seat of the Scottish Parliament, to St. Giles Cathedral. This is the route that the coffin with the mortal remains of the Queen isabel II this Monday, September 12 in the early afternoon. Along the way, on foot, she has been accompanied by her son, Charles IIIwho led the procession, the consort, Camillaand the rest of the monarch’s children, Anne, Edward y Andrés. All in military uniform. Except Duke of Yorkwho was in civilian clothes.
The newly proclaimed sovereign and the queen consort presided over the first farewell to Elizabeth II, which took place in Scotland, where she died on September 8 at her Balmoral castle in the Highlands. The procession with her mortal remains has gone to St. Giles Cathedral where a Service of Thanksgiving will take place. A funeral chapel will be installed there so that the Scots can bid the queen farewell to her until she is transferred to London. Edinburgh Cathedral, which sports a cupola with the silhouette of a crown, is the main temple of the Scottish Presbyterian Church.
In the procession, we have been able to see the children of the monarch wearing their military uniforms. Andrés was dressed in civilian clothes, since his mother stripped him in January of his titles and his military honors because of his connection to the Epstein case. The dark friendship of the Duke of York with the pedophile tycoon took a heavy toll on him, for which he had to pay, as a donation, some 14 million euros to Virginia Giuffre. With this extrajudicial agreement, the Duke stopped the process by which the plaintiff had accused him of having sexually abused her when she was a minor.
