Bank holiday days left in Scotland 2024 as one lucky place in UK gets extra day
The people of Jersey are being treated to a new public holiday next month.
An extra bank holiday is getting added to the calendar in July when King Charles and Queen Camilla visit. As Jersey is a self-governing island, people on the UK mainland won't be getting the same holiday.
July 15 is set to be the first time a reigning monarch has gone to Jersey since Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 visit. The extra bank holiday is estimated to have cost the island £700,000 in wages, reports the Liverpool Echo.
In his annual visit to Scotland, King Charles is scheduled for two days of engagements next week. On July 2 and 3, the king is holding an investiture ceremony and garden party on July 2 and 3 as part of Holyrood Week.
Queen Camilla will join King Charles for a celebration of the 900th anniversary of Edinburgh at Edinburgh Castle.
