The co-leaders of the Scottish Greens have rejected an invitation to a service of thanksgiving for the King in Edinburgh this week with one of them due to speak at an anti-monarchy rally.
Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater – two of the most outspoken republican MSPs in Holyrood and Scottish Government ministers – announced their intentions on Tuesday.
The special service to mark the King’s coronation will take place at St Giles’ Cathedral on the Royal Mile on Wednesday, where he will be presented with the Honours of Scotland – the country’s crown jewels.
