The king, accompanied by Queen Camilla, is currently on a royal tour of Scotland. In the past several days, the pair have been busy. The queen hosted a reception for the Queen's Nursing Institute Scotland, meeting nurses, supporters and volunteers. Additionally, the royal couple hosted an 8,000-person garden party at Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh—among numerous other engagements.
However, the visit to St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh may prove to be the most meaningful.

Images of the king and queen show them standing solemnly before a black memorial stone. "ER lay here 12-13 September 2022," it reads. The church was Queen Elizabeth's final resting place in Scotland after her passing, where many mourners came to pay respects.
The royal family's Instagram account also shared a series of images honoring the late monarch, including some throwbacks. The first image shows a younger queen at the 1977 opening of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, followed by a 2010 snap of Her Late Majesty at the Thistle Service, all smiles.
What a sweet way to remember such a legendary queen.

Prince William and Princess Charlotte pose for cute photo at Euro 2025 final
Prince William and Princess Charlotte are ready for some soccer. The Prince of Wales, 43, and his 10-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte stepped out on Sunday, July 27, in Switzerland to attend the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 final between England and Spain. Charlotte, who wore a blue dress with white polka dots for the occasion, posed for photos with her dad at the event, as seen in a picture shared on the official Prince and Princess of Wales Instagram account. Ahead of the match, William wished the England women's national soccer team good luck in an Instagram story. "The nation is so proud you are through to the final after some stunning comebacks!" he wrote. "We are all cheering you on!" William checked in with another message halfway through the match, writing, "May the best team win." Princess Charlotte looks just like Prince William in birthday photo taken by Princess Kate The public outing comes after William, Charlotte, Princess Kate and Prince George all stepped out on July 13 to attend the Wimbledon Championships' singles final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Charlotte was wearing a ruffled white dress for that game. The royal family recently celebrated Prince George's 12th birthday on Tuesday, July 22. In a photo shared on Instagram, George was seen wearing a blue and white button-down shirt and zip-up vest, and a video showed him posing for pictures with his siblings Charlotte and Prince Louis, 7. Princess Kate steps out at Wimbledon with Charlotte, George: See the pics Princess Kate is continuing to recover from a battle with cancer. Though she announced in January that her cancer is in remission, she was unexpectedly absent from a scheduled public appearance at Royal Ascot in June. Earlier this month, while visiting Colchester Hospital in Essex, Kate discussed how the next phase of recovery after treatment can be challenging. "You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment," she said. "Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually the phase afterwards is really, really difficult."

Trump unloads in late-night rants threatening to prosecute news networks, Beyonce, Oprah and Kamala Harris
Despite the lateness of the hour in Scotland, Donald Trump remained vocal on social media Saturday, unleashing a late-night rant in which he threatened to prosecute Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce while lashing out at news networks whose 'licenses could, and should, be revoked.' The president, who is spending the weekend golfing in the UK, wrote at 7.45 p.m. ET (12.45 a.m. local BST) that he was reviewing the large amount of money spent by his Democratic opponents 'probably illegally' during the 2024 election. Trump claimed Beyonce was paid $11 million to endorse Harris, and that she 'never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!' He also claimed that Democrats paid $3 million in 'expenses' to Oprah and $600,000 to civil rights activist and TV personality Reverend Al Sharpton. There is no evidence that any of the people named in Trump's rant were paid for their endorsement by the Democratic campaign. 'YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO,' the president wrote in a Truth Social post. 'Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out!' 'Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted!' he added. Oprah previously said she 'was not paid a dime' to appear alongside Harris, whose campaign covered $1 million in production costs for a live-streamed event. 'The people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story,' Oprah said at the time. The Harris campaign also has denied ever paying Beyonce for her endorsement. The campaign similarly paid her production company Parkwood Production Media LLC $165,000, according to Federal Elections Commission records. Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles previously said the accusation that her daughter was paid for her endorsement is a 'lie' and that Beyonce also paid for the flights for herself and her team to and from the event. It's not the first time that Trump has targeted Beyonce and other celebrities over their alleged 'illegal campaign donations' late at night. The president lashed out at the Lemonade singer as well as Bruce Springsteen and Bono in a 2 a.m. Truth Social post on May 19. In another pair of posts shortly after 1 a.m. while still in Scotland, Trump threatened NBC and ABC, and suggested that networks he believes are 'political pawns for the Democrat Party' should be stripped of their licenses to broadcast. 'It has become so outrageous that, in my opinion, their licenses could, and should, be revoked! MAGA,' he wrote Trump has also routinely used threats of legal action to threaten media outlets, publishers and journalists over what he perceives as antagonistic coverage. Following lawsuits against the networks during his campaign, Trump reached massive financial settlements with both ABC News and CBS News, sparking fears among press freedom advocates. Such fears have not been allayed, after the president this week filed a $10 billion lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch, The Wall Street Journal and its parent companies, as well as two journalists, following the newspaper's publication of the president's alleged birthday letter to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. That suit came fresh of the back of a $16 million settlement with Paramount for a lawsuit concerning the editing of an episode of 60 Minutes interview with Harris, which the president claimed was unfair to his campaign.
