More information on the State Opening of Parliament for 2023. I expect that in addition to TM the King and Queen that the Prince and Princess of Wales will be present too.

QuoteThe State Opening of Parliament marks the formal start of the parliamentary year and the Monarch's Speech sets out the government's agenda for the coming session, outlining proposed policies and legislation. It is the only regular occasion when the three constituent parts of Parliament ? the Sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons ? meet.

The Prince of Wales will not be at this year's State Opening of Parliament as the Earth Shot Prize ceremony will take place on the same day.

QuoteState Opening happens on the first day of a new parliamentary session or shortly after a general election. The next State Opening, His Majesty the King's first as Monarch, will take place on 7 November 2023.

The last State Opening of Parliament took place on 10 May 2022, at the start of the 2022-23 session of Parliament. On this occasion, Parliament was opened by the then Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge as Counsellors of State for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II presided over the State Opening of Parliament in person on 67 occasions during her reign.

The King expected to pay tribute to the late Queen at his first State Opening of Parliament
Tradition returns as a reigning monarch to preside over pomp and pageantry once more after Elizabeth II missed last year?s ceremony

The King is expected to pay tribute to his late mother when he delivers his first State Opening of Parliament speech as monarch.
The event, known for its pomp and pageantry, was cancelled in 2020 and scaled back in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic.
Last year, the King and the Prince of Wales stood in for the ailing Queen Elizabeth II as Counsellors of State during a reduced ceremony.

King is expected to wear the heavy Imperial State Crown, which the late Queen last wore for the 2016 State Opening of Parliament.
After that, due to its weight, it was instead carried on a cushion and placed on a table nearby.

The 74-year-old is expected to travel to the Houses of Parliament in the ornate Irish State Coach, escorted by members of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
He will be preceded by a coach carrying the royal regalia ? the Imperial State Crown, the Cap of Maintenance and the Sword of State.
For the first time in four years, the Chamber will be packed with 600 guests, ready to listen to the first King?s Speech in more than 70 years.

It will be delivered by the monarch from the throne in the House of Lords before he returns to Buckingham Palace in a grand carriage procession.
