Sophia was first crowned in England, stabilizing the situation. When the Privy Council drafted a change plan, she went on a mission to Scotland and was officially crowned as Queen of Scotland in Edinburgh's church. The Scottish Parliament and Presbyterians unified the heir to the throne with the English Parliament at the end of the British Civil War. Since Sophia had ascended the throne, she came to Edinburgh to be crowned only in a formality.

"My brother, the last King Charles, his pride prevented him from concessioning on the church issues of both countries... Later facts proved obvious that his approach was wrong. He destroyed the feelings between the two kingdoms and triggered a meaningless war... As the Queen of Scotland, the heir to the Stuart family, I apologize to all the people who suffered losses due to this dispute. The opinions of the people of Scotland should be respected by the royal family."

For Charles I hurt the feelings of the Scottish people, she also gave a special speech to apologize, acknowledging that Scotland could have an independent church.

The Queen's compromise formed a sharp contrast with Charles I's arrogance. After Edinburgh's speech, she was extremely supported by the Scottish people. People gathered in front of her palace in Edinburgh to cheer, and the cheers were almost heard in the whole city!

The Stuart dynasty ruled Scotland longer than England, but England had a larger population and a more developed economy. Therefore, after James I took over as the king of the United Kingdom, he moved to London and focused on the management of England. Charles I only returned to Scotland once when he was crowned, and was disunited from the Scottish people.

This time, Sophia gave a speech in Edinburgh, retracing the origins of the Stuart royal family and the Scottish people, and at the same time lifting Charles I's confinement to Scotland's faith, allowing Scotland from Presbyterians to express allegiance to this "enlightened" queen. They even invited the queen to stay in Scotland for more time and held a grand banquet for the Queen and the little prince Henry.

Sofia was also happy to stay in Scotland for a while. She took her son to attend a banquet in Edinburgh and inspected several important Scotland cities.

The new queen and a prince who is full of years old appear in front of civilians, which has caused a huge response in Scotland!

Compared with Charles I, a king who was born in the Scottish royal family but was indifferent to Scotland, Sophia's closeness made the Scottish people excited, and they spontaneously cheered the arrival of the queen on both sides of the street.

They had not seen their king for a long time. Charles I had never been to Scotland except for the one he was crowned. He seemed to have completely forgotten his hometown. Even the one he was crowned was very impatient and soon returned to London.

However, Sophia patiently visited the main towns in Scotland. The sharp contrast made the Scots think that the queen is ten thousand times easier to get along with than King Charles. Seeing the royal family for a long time and a newly born little prince has become a hot topic in the Kingdom of Scotland.

A uniformly dressed Royal Guard sets out the way, escorting the Queen's convertible carriage through the streets.

Sophia held the child and waved gently to the civilians on both sides of the street from time to time, which attracted cheers one after another!

"The Queen's popularity is much higher than that of King Charles. King Charles focuses entirely on the more powerful England, completely ignoring that the Scots can be his most solid shield."

"Yes, our Scotland has a smaller population than England and its economy is more backward, but we are not much worse than the English."

The Scottish MPs following the Queen, the elders of the Presbyterian Church whispered, and they were also shocked by the popularity of the royal family in Scotland. Before the merger of the two kingdoms, Scotland was more authoritarian than England, and the royal family had greater influence. The Stuart royal family had 300 years of influence in Scotland. The Stuart dynasty influenced several generations of Scotland.

I'm afraid even Sophia herself could hardly imagine the Scots' fanatical support after the King compromised. It seemed that she was easier to talk to than England here.

Charles I wanted to completely unify the two kingdoms, but he did not expect that the time was not yet ripe.

Sophia's experience of traveling in the East told her that it was not that the two kingdoms could not be truly unified, but because England was not strong enough. When England was strong enough, Scotland would inevitably choose to merge with England in order to improve its situation. The timing of his brother's choice was not so appropriate. At this time, Scotland was weaker than England, but the gap was not a huge difference.

Sophia was very popular in Scotland, and the Scots loved the house and Ukraine, and even supported the little prince Henry.

Originally, Sophia planned to return to England after patrolling several major cities in Scotland, but the enthusiastic Scottish people tried to keep the queen in Edinburgh for another month.

Sophia was not idle either. She consulted with local nobles, elders, parliamentarians, and ministers, and met with Earl Liven, the commander of the oath army.

Earl of Levin was also the Count Charles I personally enthroned. He felt guilty about going to war with Charles I and standing on the side of the parliamentary army during the civil war, and expressed his loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen.

A group of ministers appointed by Charles I to manage Scottish affairs were also faithfully performing their duties in Scotland, and they also expressed their loyalty to the Queen.

Sophia took this opportunity to understand the governance framework of Scotland, and at the same time brought the Scottish lords who were alienated by Charles I to the king.

The Queen's delay in Scotland caused considerable concerns between the English Congress and the English.

According to the itinerary, the Queen just went to Scotland to be crowned Queen of Scotland, declared her sovereignty over Scotland, and then returned to England.

As a result, the Queen is now forcibly staying in Scotland by the Scots, not coming back a month later than the trip.

These Congress and civilians could not help but feel a little jealous when they learned that the Scots were too supportive of the Queen. As the Queen of the United Kingdom, her bias may lead to a policy tilt.

When Sophia finally left Edinburgh and returned to England in a carriage, the Englishmen didn't know whether it was out of comparison or to win the queen's preference. They also welcomed the queen back together, and even the MPs took the initiative to go to the gates of London to welcome the queen, which was even more enthusiastic than when the queen had just ascended the throne.

Sofia didn't expect that she would go to Scotland to be crowned, and her identity would still rise after she came back?
