If Canada is stupid enough to count itself as part of the empire, the Queen has no need for concern.

The Scots may be concerned about England’s abandonment of its own culture in favor of Islamofascism. If I were a Scot, I wouldn’t want to be part of that, and would want to save my own country and culture.

Scotland is English for Quebec.

If they won’t or can’t defend the Falklands, why worry about Scotland?
To: bruinbirdman
I don’t blame the Scots for wanting to separate.
The English and Scots are not the same people.
It is no different than the Irish no longer wanting to be part of the UK either.
I’d even go further and dump the Queen and either re-establish the Scottish monarchy or go republic.

The SNP are a bunch of leftist asshats spouting the usual “free” education, nuclear disarmament, blah, blah, blah. If Scotland follows their lead(SNP) they’ll go down the tube just as fast, if not faster, than England.

More Muslims attend Friday prayers in Scotland each week than Presbyterians attend Sunday service.
Scotland consistently votes further to the left than England does and Labor will likely lose, on balance, more than a million votes if Scotland leaves the UK.
Scotland would be one of the most socialist countries in Europe, rivaling Greece, if it were to become independent.

?? Canada does not consider itself to be part of an ‘empire’ (which does not exist). It IS part of the Commonwealth, but does not give up any sovereignty by that, any more than the US does by being a member of NATO (actually less).

The Scots are extremely socialist!
Labor's strongest boroughs are in Scotland.
The SNP socialists are just itching to get control of the North Sea oil and spend it for the good of the proletariat.
Also when I was last in Edinburgh I saw a lot of Muzzies, so I am not sure they SNP will do much to defend Scottish culture either!
Actually England might want to kick the Scots and Welsh out, remember each then have their own Parliaments and are represented in Westminster, While the English are only represented once at Westminster. There is growing resentment of that inequality in England.

Legally, her claim to the King of Canada goes through the treaty of Paris in 1762, during the reign of then King George III.
This is older than the creation of the United Kingdom. So say what you will, she is Queen of Canada moreso than Queen of the United Kingdom.
Her claims to the Kingdom of Scotland come through James VI and I. Devolution is either a consequence or a precursor of the unwinding of the Test Act. She is only Queen of Scotland because of the Glorious Revolution. It would actually be Otto of Bavaria who would be the current King of Scotland, should they devolve, and wish to undo the union of the crown (and not become a republic).
Plenty of changes wrought.

Best thing the Queen can do to save the UK is to get rid of ‘The London School of Economics’...it's code for ‘Socialists Ur Us’ or an another $oro$ funded, 'Global Fascists Greenhouse’.
