Humza Yousaf has said he hopes spending on the King’s coronation can be kept to a minimum, as he vowed to represent all Scots at the “historic” event.
While the SNP leader believes an independent Scotland should be a republic rather than a kingdom, Mr Yousaf said it is his duty as First Minister to represent those who think otherwise.
He will be pledging the oath to the King during the ceremony, as he and his wife Nadia El-Nakla travel to Westminster Abbey.
