From the Court Circular 16 May 2025:
The King was represented by the Earl of Airlie, KT at a Service of Thanksgiving for the Dowager Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne which took place at St Fergus Kirk, Glamis, Angus, this afternoon.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were represented by the Earl of Dalhousie.
The Princess Royal was represented by Mrs David Bowes-Lyon.
Surely, some mistake? The late Earl of Airlie was a Knight of the Thistle. He died 26 June, 2023. The current Earl, present at Lady Strathmore's funeral, has not received the Thistle, and has not been bestowed with any other order of chivalry. Perhaps to make amends His Majesty might now despatch the Thistle to Lord Airlie?
