Véget ér egy korszak: átadhatja a hatalmat Károly hercegnek II. Erzsébet a 95. születésnapján
Károly hetven éves, és az elmúlt évtizedekben volt ideje felkészülni az uralkodói feladatokra.
A hírforrás szerint Erzsébet azért tartja fontosnak ezt a lépést, mert tisztában van azzal, hogy az ő korában már bármi megtörténhet, és szeretné a trónutódlást minél zökkenőmentesebbé tenni.
Régenst egyébként utoljára 1810-ben neveztek ki az ország élére, amikor III. György király először csak időlegesen, majd végleg megháborodott.
Ezután tíz évig a legidősebb fia uralkodott helyette, végül pedig, apja halála után hivatalosan is trónra lépett, IV. György néven.

'It has been with great pleasure that over the years I have watched Scotland grow and prosper.'
