The palace said the decision to pass one of the monarch's most symbolic responsibilities to Charles came after consultation with the queen's doctors, who made the decision amid health concerns for the 96-year-old British monarch."The Queen continues to experience episodic mobility problems," a spokesperson for the palace said, according to Sky News.
Elizabeth issued letters patent for Charles and Prince William, who will also be in attendance, which grants them permission to open Parliament. The speech typically focuses on the legislative agenda of Parliament, with many members debating the issues for days. Working members of the royal family have taken some of the responsibilities upon themselves to help adjust the queen's schedule.
As a queen who enjoys being seen in public and participating in public ceremonies, the change in her schedule has been drastic after a hospital stay in October left her using a cane. Health concerns beginning in autumn have forced her to miss multiple annual traditions, including her appearance at a climate conference in Scotland, traditional Christmas festivities during the holidays, and Easter Sunday.
