Royals are supposed to bind Scotland to England
Accordingly, it was considered to send Prince Edward, Countess Sophie and their children Lady Louise, 17, and James, 13, Viscount Severn, to Edinburgh to smooth things over with Scotland. Her new home should have been Holyrood Palace, an official residence of Queen Elizabeth, 94. The ulterior motive: If Edward and Sophie bind themselves to Scotland and are often seen at appointments, the aspirations for independence decline. For reasons not mentioned, the plan fizzled out, writes the Daily Mail, and the Wessex family stayed at their Bagshot Park estate in Surrey.
