Elizabeth II was only Queen of Scotland by virtue of the 1701 Act of Settlement. There are other claimants, such as Franz, Duke of Bavaria, and Arthur Stuart, 8th Earl Castle Stewart, the latter having the best claim.
The photo above is Duke Franz, as I can't seem to find one of the 8th Earl Castle Stewart.
I wonder whether the Old Queen's funeral rituals are a wet run (as opposed to a dry run) for Charles' own funeral in a few years time. Whereas not many had experience of George VI's funeral as a template, many will have had experience of that of the Old Queen, meaning any wrinkles can be ironed out quite swiftly.
