AN SNP MP has said now is the right time to be having a debate on the future of the monarchy in Scotland as the coronation of King Charles approaches.
Stewart McDonald – who is in favour of an elected head of state - has said it is “right and proper” the party debates its position on the institution with the crowning of the new monarch on the horizon in May.
The former SNP defence spokesperson has urged the party to make sure it clarifies its views on the royal family before the next independence referendum.
