Queen Elizabeth II weighed in on Scottish independence while speaking to a well-wisher near her Balmoral estate. Remaining vague, she said, "I hope people will think very carefully about the future." The palace has steered clear of any specific comments for or against Scottish independence, stating that it's "a matter for the people of Scotland." Still, the British royal family has strong ties to the country thanks to both its Scottish residences and its Scottish titles. Prince William and Kate Middleton, for instance, are the Earl and Countess of Strathearn.
