On Wednesday, the government of Scotland honored King Charles andQueen Camilla’s May 6 crowning in London with a day of festivities in Edinburgh. The King, 74, and Queen, 75, participated in a Royal Procession from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St. Giles’ Cathedral for a National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication. Prince William andKate Middletonalso attended the event, and the pinnacle of the church service was when Charles was presented with the Honours of Scotland, the country’s crown jewels.

In his first speech as King following the death of Queen Elizabeth in September, Charles named William thePrince of Wales, the traditional title for the male heir apparent to the throne, and Kate became the Princess of Wales in the same sweep.

Although cognizant that any change of reign is a long way away, aides confirmed to PEOPLE after King Charles’ crowning ceremony that Prince Williamwill do things differentlywhen he accedes one day.

When the time comes, royal sources said that William’s coronation will reflect an ongoing mission to be “relevant” and modern — which likely means a second celebration will not be staged in Scotland.
