The first joint official trip since the end of the mourning period took King Charles and his wife Camilla to Scotland on Monday.
Dressed in typical Scottish kilts, Charles and his wife Camilla were welcomed by Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon and a cheering crowd in Dunfermline, Scotland on Monday.
To obtain this, District Administrator Jim Leishman said Monday Dunfermline has come through "a long, hard journey".
A total of eight localities in the United Kingdom were granted city rights to mark Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee last June.
Dunfermline had applied with reference to its nearly thousand year history.
The town in the eastern Five region is the birthplace of Scotland's only "saint", Margaret of Wessex, who brought the Benedictine monks over Hadrian's Wall and introduced many innovations.
Dunfermline Abbey was the final resting place of many Scottish rulers well into the 15th century.
A royal reception was scheduled for Monday night in Edinburgh to celebrate the contribution of South Asian immigrants to British society.
According to unconfirmed reports, the royal couple's first trip abroad will not, as is traditionally the case, go to a former Commonwealth colony, but to Paris.
Charles, 73, spent the time after the funeral service at his country home in Scotland.
Like his mother, he is considered a great lover of the northernmost part of Britain.
