Summary
King Charles wrapped up his annual Royal Week in Scotland with a mix of tradition and symbolism, from handing over Holyrood Palace keys to attending a garden party and inspecting the Royal Regiment — all while enjoying strong public approval, especially compared to Prince William. Amid debates over regional power and funding, Britain’s defense spending hits a 30-year high, sparking concerns about cuts to welfare and housing — but also promising jobs and reviving shipbuilding. Meanwhile, Shetland’s bold plan to build four undersea tunnels to replace ferries could reshape island connectivity — at a $1.5 billion cost, with hopes of economic growth. As the British Isles’ patchwork of nations struggles to unite, the monarchy stands as a thread weaving belonging across its diverse landscape.
