Stepping up! Prince Charles filled in for his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on the opening day of British Parliament — and got a taste of his future on the throne.
The Prince of Wales, 73, delivered the traditional opening remarks alongside his son Prince William and wife Duchess Camilla on Tuesday, May 10, at the House of Parliament in London. Charles gave his speech from the Consort’s Throne after the Sovereign’s Throne — which is used by the 96-year-old — was removed amid the queen’s absence.
While addressing members of the government, Charles spoke for 11 minutes and outlined the administration’s plans for the coming years. Some tweaks were made to the speech, with the future king opting to use the phrase “Her Majesty’s government.” (The monarch typically says “my government” while delivering the remarks.)
As he concluded the opening ceremony, the queen’s eldest son reassured those in attendance that Elizabeth was looking forward to her upcoming Platinum Jubilee celebrations this summer. “Her Majesty prays that the blessings of Almighty God will rest upon your counsels,” Charles said.
Tuesday marked only the third time in her 70-year reign that Her Royal Highness missed the opening of Parliament, with Buckingham Palace confirming her absence one day before the royal engagement.
“The Queen continues to experience episodic mobility problems, and in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow,” a statement read on Monday, May 9. “At Her Majesty’s request, and with the agreement of the relevant authorities, The Prince of Wales will read The Queen’s speech on Her Majesty’s behalf, with The Duke of Cambridge also in attendance.”
