Buckingham Palace gives an emotional update following Kate Middleton's stunning decision

 

Buckingham Palace has issued an emotional update on King Charles and Queen Camilla's newest action following Princess Kate's unexpected choice.

On Wednesday, the King and Queen choked back tears as they unveiled a surprise new memorial to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The royal family posted an update on its official Instagram account when the King and Queen went out in Edinburgh to unveil the stone, which is a basic black slate in the floor of St Giles' Cathedral.

The ER cypher and the Scottish Crown are carved on the stone. It also includes the dates when the late monarch's corpse was laid to rest in the cathedral following her death at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on September 8, 2022.

The Palace posted an emotional statement with Queen Elizabeth's famous images, writing: "Today, the King and Queen unveiled a Memorial Stone dedicated to the late Queen Elizabeth II at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh." Her late Majesty's strong attachment for Scotland and its people was widely known, particularly her fondness for the Scottish Highlands."

The statement, which came hours after Princess Kate's surprise visit to Colchester Hospital's cancer well-being unit, continued: "St Giles' Cathedral was the Queen's final resting place in Scotland, and where thousands queued to pay their respects."

Charles, 76, and Camilla, 77, were the only royals present at today's brief ceremony, which took place on the second day of their "Royal Week".

Earlier, the monarch and his wife Camilla were welcomed to a rainy Kirkcaldy for a ceremony commemorating the centennial of Kirkcaldy's War Memorial, a symbol of local history.
