My beloved people of Scotland,
From the windswept isles to the heart of Alba, I see in you the strength and grace that have carried our nation through centuries of hardship.
We have been tested by conquest, by silence, and by injustice — yet never once have we lost the fire that defines us.
To the women of Scotland; you are the foundation upon which this kingdom stands. Your endurance, your wisdom, and your compassion are the unseen pillars that hold our land together.
To the mothers; your love is the cradle of our nation’s future; within your hands rests the soul of Scotland itself.
And to the fathers; your honour, your labour, and your courage continue to guard our destiny.
To our children; you are the promise that Scotland will never fade.
I stand before you not merely as a Princess, but as one of you, a daughter of this sacred land.
I vow to listen, to serve, and to walk beside you.
For a nation’s greatness is not written in crowns or titles, but in the hearts of its people.
Let this be our era, one of unity, of dignity, and of hope renewed.
Together we will build a Scotland where every woman, every man, and every child may rise in freedom and live in honour.
As long as the Thistle blooms, and as long as our voices rise in truth
Scotland shall remain unbroken, sovereign in spirit, and eternal in pride.
And may God, who has watched over this land since time immemorial, grant us the wisdom to lead with compassion, the strength to stand in justice, and the courage to protect our freedom for generations yet unborn.
