King Charles and Queen Camilla are set for a big royal event tomorrow - on the same day the Duchess of Sussex is to launch a new product with her lifestyle brand. Their Majesties will attend the traditional Ceremony of the Keys on Tuesday at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
The event on July 1 will mark the start of Royal Week, which sees the monarch, 76, and Camilla, 77, spend a few days each year in Scotland. The aim of the week is for Their Majesties to meet Scottish people and recognise them for their good work. The Ceremony of the Keys will kick off the Royal Week tomorrow, and will see the King being formally welcomed into the city of Edinburgh by the Lord Provost, who offers the key of the city to His Majesty.
