Kate Middleton,Prince William,King CharlesandQueen Camillagathered to watch the flypast that marked the finale of the Scotland coronation celebrations — but now how they usually do.
King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William’s Order of the Thistle robes moved with the wind, which also kept the plume on Camilla’s hat moving around. The two couples chatted cheerfully as they waited for the planes to pass and stood at attention at the national anthem played.

The royal family’s official Instagram account event provided a look behind the scenes of the moment. In a video taken from inside the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the royals face away from the camera as they watch the Royal Air Force planes approach.
Whileflypastsare typically associated with abalcony moment at Buckingham Palace, the event was a bit lower key in Edinburgh. Instead of appearing on a balcony, the royals watched from outside the entrance on the ground as the planes soared overhead and created red, white and blue streaks.
Unlike a Buckingham Palace balcony appearance, which saw all theworking members of the royal familygather on June 17 for the first Trooping the Colour of King Charles' reign, this was also a smaller group. The only royals to attend Wednesday’s service were King Charles, 74, Queen Camilla, 75, Prince William, 41, and Princess Kate, also 41.

In addition to last month’s Trooping the Colour, the annual celebration of the British monarch’s birthday, thefirst flypast of the new reigncame following the coronation on May 6 in London.
King Charles wore the Imperial State Crown while Queen Camilla wore the St. Mary’s Crown for the balcony appearance. (Although the King was crowned with the St. Edward’s Crown, he swapped it for the less heavy headpiece at the end of the Westminster Abbey service.)

Wednesday’s celebrations were the highlight of Royal Week in Scotland this year. Like Queen Elizabeth did during her reign, King Charles and Queen Camilla are spending a special week in the country to meet local people.
The Scottish governmentannouncedlast month that their nation would hold a special service in honor of the monarch’s May 6 coronation. After making their way to St. Giles' Cathedral in a Royal Procession, King Charles was presented with the Honours of Scotland — a glittering suite including the crown of King James V of Scotland, a sceptre and a sword of state.
However, thecrown was not placed on the monarch’s head. Because Scotland has not operated as an independent royal realm for over 300 years, it would be inappropriate — and inaccurate — for Charles to be crowned as King separately in Scotland.

King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William all wore the robes of the Order of the Thistle, the greatest order of chivalry in Scotland, for the ceremony.
Since Princess Kate is not a member, she did not wear the robes. Instead, she popped in ablue Catherine Walker coat dressthat she previously sportedfrom her Easter church outingearlier this year and theCommonwealth Day servicein 2022 with a matching Philip Treacy hat. In a poignant touch, she wore a pearl necklace that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth and a bracelet and earrings from Princess Diana’s jewelry box.
