Prince Charles begins tour of Britain before mother’s burial

King Charles is set to begin tour of Britain’s four nations before his mother’s burial. He is to embark on the tour with the UK Prime Minister, Liz Truss.

The king and his wife, Queen Camilla are expected to be in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

The first stop will be Scotland, where they will visit the Scottish parliament and join a vigil in memory of the monarch, according to the BBC.

On Tuesday, the royal couple will travel by air to Belfast and visit Hillsborough Castle, where they will view an exhibition on the Queen’s long association with Northern Ireland.

They will also attend a service in memory of the Queen and receive a message of condolence led by the speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

After returning to London, where they will witness the arrival of Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin, the couple will travel to Wales on Friday.

However, Truss will accompany King Charles on the royal tour of Britain’s four nations to lead days of national mourning for his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

According to the prime minister’s spokesman, “In terms of the prime minister’s involvement, she will join the King as he leads the national mourning across the United Kingdom, attending services of reflection in Scotland on Monday afternoon, in Northern Ireland on Tuesday, and Wales on Friday.”
