When you are caught between a rock and a hard place life can get quite uncomfortable.

If we are to believe our news programmes yesterday, we saw ‘thousands’ line the Royal Mile………they didn’t! We were also bombarded by those and such in the BBC with the English version of Scotlands history!

My thoughts today have moved on to who holds the Power when it comes to the Monarchy and the Constitution. Is it the King?

There can be no doubt that the service held in St Giles was planned down to the last detail by Charles himself and by all accounts showed off our Scottish culture at its best. Even the Bible readings were interesting! I looked up Humzas given he is a Muslim. It was pretty ambiguous and didn’t challenge any of his beliefs. On the other hand the poor PM had to read about feeding the poor and inviting strangers in!!! …….a hint from the King maybe?

So, regarding these somewhat peripheral matters, yes he is given free reign but on matters of State….not so much, in fact very little.

It is well known that he couldn’t wear the Scottish Crown yesterday, I am pretty sure he would love to as would his mother before him! To do so he would have to have taken the Scottish Oath of Assession and that’s where the conundrum comes in! Because to do so would denote the end of the Union!

And there is nothing he can do to change that conundrum!

To be honest I doubt if he would even want to, there would be too much to lose in terms of wealth and lands, so any desire to wear a second Crown can be easily overcome!

They say he cares deeply about Scotland, how deep?

Intellectually there would appear to be a conundrum but morally, I doubt it.

One by one those who should stand up for Scotland fall away but People power is the most effective power there is on this earth. So we march on claiming back our Rights!
