Andy Burnham Joins King and Queen at Church Service in Scotland
Burnham attended the royal service at Crathie Kirk, where the King and Queen regularly worship during stays near Balmoral.
- On Sunday, September 6, 2026, Prime Minister Andy Burnham joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for a church service at Crathie Kirk, a granite church on Royal Deeside near Balmoral in Scotland.
- The visit follows criticism that Burnham completely avoided Scotland on his UK "listening tour," which included stops in Wales and Northern Ireland, leaving Scotland as the only nation excluded.
- During his trip, Burnham met with First Minister John Swinney and ruled out a second Scottish independence referendum, calling it "off limits" to prevent distraction from the economy and cost-of-living support.
- Swinney expressed he was "surprised" Burnham had bypassed Scotland on his tour, though Downing Street claimed the Prime Minister previously attended the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in July.
- Attending services with the royals at the Royal Deeside church continues a tradition observed by former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during visits to Balmoral.
