If the Scots have paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, their support for the monarchy remains fragile. The desire for independence seems to have revived.
Just one kilometer from St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Monday September 12, another part of the country is not taking part in tributes to Queen Elizabeth II. Since the proclamation of Charles III, supporters of independence feel even less concerned with the crown and the unity of the kingdom.
“People aren’t going to love the monarchy so much anymore. For me, it’s just a well-born family, heirs that we didn’t choose. It’s not democratic“, believes a woman. With the death of Elizabeth II, a figure who united the British, will the separatists succeed in breaking with the United Kingdom? Their headliner, Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon, promises a referendum in October 2023.
