The Kingdom of England (Welsh History Post Glyndwr)

Charles III
With continuing pressure from the people of Scotland for independence, with the support of his sister Anne, Charles III had a difficult time keeping the two kingdoms united. Finally having to give his official support for the Scottish referendum, Charles was giving serious thought to abdicating to his eldest son, William, Duke of Cornwall.

Separation from Scotland
The Scottish referendum of 2012 saw the SNP and the "Yes" vote win by a slim majority. The final results saw Scotland vote 58% to 42% in favor of independence. The Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond, led the negotiations with the Westminster Government and on the 1st January 2015 following the conclusion of those talks Scotland formally declared its separation from the former United Kingdom. The following day, 2nd January 2015, Anne was declared as Queen of Scots as Anne II.

Relations between the now separate kingdoms has remained cordial if sometimes strained, with Charles and Anne no longer on speaking terms following her acceptance of the offer from the Scottish government of the throne of Scotland.
