They were predictably backed by the SNP members, despite the Nats' position being that the monarchy would be retained in an independent Scotland. The motion had been brought forward by co-conveners on the Scottish Greens group on the council, Alys Mumford and Ben Parker. The party had demanded the city does not recognise Prince Edward as the Duke of Edinburgh after he took over the title from his late father, Prince Philip.īut the council instead backed a motion welcoming the decision of King Charles to bestow the title on his youngest brother. The Scottish Greens have suffered yet another humiliation after an anti-monarchy motion was thrown out by the City of Edinburgh Council- and replaced by one praising the institution. ![]()
