Britain's King Charles III delivers a speech during the State Opening of Parliament in the House of Lords Chamber on Nov 7.on Tuesday, formally opening the UK Parliament with a run-down of his government’s legislative plans as an election looms.
The ceremonial address was King Charles’s first as head of state, although he had a dry run deputising for his mother Queen Elizabeth II in May last year. He also underlined differences that he is drawing with Mr Keir Starmer’s centre-left Labour party over the environment and energy. Labour has said it will not award any new oil and gas exploration licences and has pledged instead to boost investment in green energy.
Although a Tory defeat at the next election is far from a foregone conclusion, owing to their sizeable parliamentary majority, a loss would mean much of the legislation never seeing the light of day.
