Two months after an ornate coronation at Westminster Abbey, King Charles III will be presented with another crown this week, this time in Scotland. I’ll admit I was surprised to hear of this reprise of sorts, complete with a pair of processions, an hour-long service and a RAF flypast — it all sounds quite a bit like what we just saw! There are even Scottish Crown Jewels, known as the Honours of Scotland.

So what’s happening and who will be attending? And what will everyone wear? I figured we could all use a bit of a primer, which you’ll find below.

ICYMI: My SMTs from June (all 12 of them!) and my skin cancer diagnosis. Please remember to wear sunscreen + hats if you head out!
