Agree - this nonsense needs to stop (along with the monarchy itself).

Time auld Lizzie not the second got her marching orders and took her hapless brood with her.

Although they are obliged to comply with this process, they Scottish Government should at least let us know when the royal parasites are stacking the deck in their own favour.

I'm honestly amazed that this is even a thing. I could understand BJ kow-towing to the Royals, but not the Scottish government.

Edit: I'm also somewhat disappointed that the Royals would seek to gain such advantage

From what I've read the SG have no choice: they are legally required to comply.

Quote
Scottish ministers were legally required under legislation passed by Westminster to allow the Queen to scrutinise and change bills in advance.


The secrecy aspect is also of concern.

Quote
The Scottish government is refusing to publish details about the Queen’s secret lobbying of ministers because it would undermine “the appearance of political neutrality” that the monarch adopts in public.

They are indeed.

The SG should tell the Scottish electorate the details of what the monarchy are insisting on by way of changes to planned legislation, and where the SG feel that they cannot agree with the requested changes then they should tell us why they are not prepared to accede to requests from the monarchy and that, therefore, the legislation cannot then pass.

For this arcane nonsense to end the Scottish electorate need to know when the privilege card is being played in order that political pressure can be exerted to get rid: no wonder they try to keep it secret!

Why are you disappointed? The whole idea of 'being royal' is seeking to get advantage.
