Queen Elizabeth II made her first public appearances since her platinum jubilee earlier this month at a ceremony and then a military parade in Scotland.
Her first official trip since the jubilee, which is partly in celebration of Elizabeth’s yearlong platinum anniversary and partly in honor of Scotland, is part of the annual Holyrood Week in which the royal family attends ceremonies and celebrations in Scotland to honor the work, culture, and community of the Scottish people. Although the weeklong visit is traditional, this year’s trip comes as Buckingham Palace has kept the queen’s in-person schedule to a minimum as the 96-year-old monarch struggles with what has been described as “mobility issues” that stem from a hospitalization last fall.
