What does the Queen's death mean for the future of Scotland?

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The Queen’s death led to a huge outpouring of grief but it also sparked a debate on the country’s future under a new King. Her passing raises questions about the type of King Charles III will strive to be, whether the UK will retain the monarchy in the long term, as well as the potential impact on Scottish independence.

According to a YouGov poll, 63 per cent of people believe Charles will make a good King compared with just 39 per cent in March.

Only a fifth of those believed he would do a bad job. The snapshot indicates the public is keen to give Charles the opportunity to serve his country like his late mother did.

A blog by polling expert Sir John Curtice also provided fascinating insights on the impact on Scotland. Sir John cited two polls that found greater support for the monarchy over a republic across the UK, albeit less so in Scotland.However, in a sign that the debate on the monarchy may not move the dial on whether Scotland should be independent, he wrote: “The polling evidence does not prove that attitudes to the Union are influenced by attitudes to the monarchy.” First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s heartfelt praise for the Queen, as well as her party’s support for King Charles remaining Head of State in an independent Scotland, show how keen the SNP is to disentangle the two issues.
