Graham Smith told Express.co.uk the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge must be careful not to “cross the line” in Scotland with a “pro-union” message as the nation could soon face a second independence referendum, if Nicola Sturgeon gets her wish. Mr Smith added Prince William and Kate would be playing into Ms Sturgeon and the SNP’s hands if the couple crossed the line as tensions rise in Scotland.

Republic is an orgainsation that campaigns for the monarchy to be abolished and the UK to have a democratic, elected head of state.

Mr Smith said: “I think there is a fine line to tread.

“If they are just going to Scotland to fly the flag as it were, it is not unreasonable for the head of state and the royals to do that on her behalf.

“But if they start doing things that are advertently pro-union in the middle of a Scottish wide debate about independence then I think that is crossing the line and they need to be very careful.

“If they cross the line too far it will play into the hands of the independence campaign.”

In June, Colin Blazier told GB News the Royal Family will need to do more to overturn some feelings regarding independence and republicanism in Scotland.

Mr Blazier said: “Scotland is more inclined to republicanism than England.

“Not by much, but enough to give courtiers sleepless nights, especially with another independence referendum looming. 

“This is the context for the Queen’s presence in Scotland – for what’s known as Holyrood week.

“Our sovereign was visiting an Irn Bru factory in Cumbernauld, flanked by Prince William. Her Majesty’s sparkling reign is now in its twilight.

“But what about her grandson? What kind of kingdom, how much of a kingdom, will be left for King William the Fifth.

“Part of the sovereign’s Scottish problem is the way she sounds.

“Her ancestry may be Scottish, but for a new breed of nationalist, accent can seem like a hallmark of authenticity.”

He continued: “She can’t change the way she speaks, nor can William. He went to school in Eton not Easterhouse. But there are other ways to show your love of country. By living there, for instance.

“William studied at St Andrews University, it’s where he met his future wife, and our future Queen, Kate.

“But occasional visits won’t wash. A few weeks in Balmoral over the summer will not convince wavering Scottish royalists that the institution of monarchy is as committed to Aberdeenshire as it is to Ascot.

“William and Kate, and their beautiful children, should MOVE, and LIVE, and WORK in Scotland.”
