Queen Elizabeth II will not attend the opening of Parliament on Tuesday amid ongoing mobility issues.The palace said in a statement Monday that the decision was made in consultation with her doctors and that the 96-year-old monarch had “reluctantly’’ decided not to attend.Prince Charles will read her speech, which sets out the government’s agenda for the coming parliamentary session.

Tuesday 10 May marked the State Opening of Parliament and only the third time since her coronation that the Queen wasn’t in attendance. Previously Her Majesty, 96, missed State Openings in 1959 when she was pregnant with Prince Andrew, and in 1963 when she was pregnant with Prince Edward.This year, however, the Queen was represented by Prince Charles, with Prince William also in attendance.

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.

Great Britain’s heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles and Prince William took centre stage amid the pomp and pageantry of the opening of parliament on Tuesday, replacing the 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth who missed the grand set-piece event with health issues.

The Queen's throne was 'set aside' and remained empty today as she missed the State Opening of Parliament for the first time in over half a century.The monarch was absent from the lavish annual ceremony and did not read The Queen's Speech for the first time since 1963 due to "episodic mobility problems" she has been experiencing. However, rather than the speech being read by the Lord Chancellor as has happened previously, in what has been described by commentators as a historic moment, Her Majesty instead delegated the responsibility to the heir to the throne, her eldest son Prince Charles.

Queen Elizabeth II will not attend the opening of Parliament on Tuesday for the first time in nearly 60 years, as she struggles with difficulties in getting around. Buckingham Palace said in a statement Monday that the decision was made in consultation with her doctors and that the 96-year-old had "reluctantly’’ decided not to attend.  Prince Charles will read her speech, while for the first time her grandson Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, will have an official role in the event.
