King Charles III is preparing himself to fulfill one of the most important royal duties, along with Queen Camilla Parker. The two monarchs will lay out the legislative program of the UK’s first left-leaning government in 14 years, including more than 35 bills.
The King will officially open the new session of Parliament on July 17, an occasion where royal pomp meets politics. Charles is set to sit on a gilded throne and announce the government’s legislative agenda for the year.
This is also the perfect occasion for Prime Minister, Keir Starmer to show how he aims to deliver his campaign. On top of that, King Charles III is also set to discuss the running from housebuilding to nationalizing Britain’s railways and decarbonizing the nation’s power supply.
King Charles III’s speech is also one of the highlights of the thigh agenda, as this symbolic event is accompanied by centuries of tradition. This is the only routine occasion in which the houses of Parliament and the Crown come together in the same place.
