With Scotland holding a national referendum on September 18th, to vote for independence from the United Kingdom, the Queen must be worried about losing out on a few of her holiday homes, not to mention a few titles.
Thankfully, even if the vote makes Scotland its own country, Liz will still be their queen.
“The union of the crowns predates the union of the parliaments”
Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond maintains that the Queen will still be “Queen of Scots”.
Which means she keeps Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire. Phew. Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh would be under question though, as it is partially funded by people’s taxes.
According to a poll held earlier this moth, “54% of Scots favour keeping the monarchy if Scotland votes ‘Yes’, compared with 39% who would like to see it scrapped”.
However, Dennis Canavan, the chair of the Yes Scotland campaign, has said he “personally favours a referendum on who should be the head of state”.
If Scotland gains its independence, it will be interesting to see the effects on the economy, finances, and relations with the European Union.
