Queen To Give Speech At Holyrood After EU Vote

The Queen is to make a speech later at the opening of the new session of the Scottish Parliament. The visit to Holyrood by the monarch, who will be accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, comes amid political turmoil in the wake of the Brexit vote. While the majority of people across the UK backed splitting from Brussels, most voters in Scotland supported Remain and has led to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to state a second independence referendum is "highly likely".
