we asked her how prince charles deed filling in for his mother. this absolutely was a marker in history the 1st time that he has done this. and apparently we want the ones tuning and carefully to see how or when the queen herself, was shooting in to take a look at how has on with doing this really key constitutional role. now in something prince charles has been preparing for a moment just like this, his entire life. he has been in waiting for this role that will have to be pointed out that much this event is home from pageantry and, and tradition. so many time on it. things that many outside of the u. k. and indeed many within the u. k. think is often quite bizarre, but there is a lot of structure to this is prepared, the speech is rather to be sure and it's written by the government. and so this is waldron something the prince charles prepared, who felt that we weren't expecting any real fireworks, nevertheless, and support huge amounts of attention here looking at how he was doing because essentially this is a glimpse into the future for the br

now, in some sense, prince charles has been preparing for a moment just like this, his entire life. he has been in waiting for this roll. it will. so it has to be pointed out that much of this event is pumpkin patch and tree and, and tradition. so many time, all nodes, things that many outside of the u. k. u, indeed many within the u. k. think is often quite bizarre, but there is a lot of structure to this is prepared, the speech is relatively short and it's written by the government. and so this wasn't something the prince charles prepared himself, so we weren't expecting any real fireworks, nevertheless, and support huge amounts of attention here looking at how he was doing because essentially this is a glimpse into the future for the british public. really for the 1st time seeing him perform this constitutional role, you really do get the sense now that there is this, this slow, this gradual transition into prince charles taking on a much, much more prominent role. you take your own a more prominent role because his mother's health is not the best. we know that her platinum do be

instead she handed over the duty to prince charles, her air. he delivered her traditional speech laying out the british government policies moving forward. the formal opening of parliament is the most high profile judy that the 96 year old queen has missed in recent months. dw correspondence. charlotte chilson pill is based in london. we asked her how prince charles d filling in for his mother. absolutely was 8 marker in history the 1st time that he has done this. and apparently we went to the are you ones tuning and kathleen to see how her, when to print the queen herself, was tuning in to take a look at how has on was doing and this really key constitutional role. now, in some sense, prince charles has been preparing for a moment just like this, his entire life. he has been in waiting for this roll. it will. so it has to be pointed out that much of this event is pump pageantry and, and tradition. so many time all nodes, things that many outside of the u. k. u. indeed many within the u. k. think is often quite bizarre, but there is a lot of st

instead prince charles will read the speech in front of where the queen usually sits. the throne with his son, the duke of cambridge, on the other side. that's the ceremonial. what's the politics? the red meat, and sebastian payne was calling it on bbc news in the last hour. —— as sebastian payne. it's through the queen's speech that the government announces its priorities for the parliamentarty year ahead. so what can we expect? our political correspondent nick eardley has this report. fanfare this is what the queen's speech normally looks like. today, with prince charles delivering the government's programme, it will look different, but the political themes will sound familiar. the opening of the speech is expected to focus on growing the economy, easing the burden on households and levelling up the country. after a bruising result in last week's elections, borisjohnson wants to get his political programme back on track. he's pledging the government will get on with the job and there will be 38 bills in total in today's speech. but the prime minister will also warn t

and if you look at prince charles, you really knew what he had to do. i don't think he got any and he for drawing at least i couldn't see any of that. i might be, you know, my interpretation that, that his tone of voice i think, was slightly skeptical. he didn't sound extremely enthusiastic, but that might come in away with the fact that he had to read out what somebody else basically wrote for him. so he's not obviously reading his own speech, but it's, he's reading it for the government and that might just be a sign i, you know, he has to be basically above politics and has to read out with other what are this right for him. now the reason for the queen's absence is essentially for health reasons. her platinum jubilee is coming up. what do we know about the state of her health? well we know that she really hasn't been seen much in public at all. so she, she hasn't really had any, any baker parents. we had a memorial service for, for prince phillip. this is where it was, she was in a way she was seen. but other than that, she's have really kept a very

prince charles stepping in to do the queen's speech. how did he do? i think he did very well. he had a long apprenticeship, really? it's very significant, i think for, for the monarchy, very symbolic that the queen has missed this really most important constitutional day. and that she is basically handling it over to her son and also her grandson. he was present in the chamber today as well. so it's assign definitely of a transition, and if you look at prince charles, you really knew what he had to do. i don't think he got any and he for drawing at least i couldn't see any of that. i might, you know, my interpretation that i, his tone of voice i thing was slightly skeptical because he didn't sound extremely enthusiastic. but that might come in away with the fact that he had to read out what somebody else basically wrote for him. so he's not obviously reading his own speech, but it's, he's reading it for the government and that might just be a sign i, you know, he has to be basically above politics and has to read out with other what others right for him. now the reason for the

and so this it wasn't something the prince charles prepared himself. so we weren't expecting any real fireworks. nevertheless, huge amounts of attention here looking at how he was doing because essentially this is a glimpse into the future for the british public. really, for the 1st time seeing him perform this constitutional role. you really do get the sentence now that there is this, this slow, this gradual transition into prince charles taking on a much, much more prominent role. you take your own a more prominent role because his mother's health is not the best. we know that her platinum do you believe that's coming up? do we know how she's doing right now? yeah, well this of course was another reason for concern. she has had to pull out of number events recently, but she is just 1096 years old to an extent it is expected that she scales back as some of her duties to a certain extent. now the reason that was given on this particular occasion from the palace was that she has episodic mobility problems. how is that? she reluctantly decided she could

take part in the state opening parliament to delegate the responsibility to the prince of wales, prince charlese house of lords, preparing to deliver the words that would otherwise have been spoken by his mother and indeed have been spoken by his mother at every session of parliament that she has opened for the last seven decades. the two shimmers 9059 and 1963 where she was heavily pregnant with her other two sons, on those occasions a job was delivered by the equivalent of the man who was seen there just briefly, the lord just like dominic raab. he did get the opportunity this way, frustrating for them perhaps, and said the decision was made that it should be delivered by prince charles who is heir to the throne, not yet monarch but preparing for that time in the near future where inevitably he will succeed as head of state. on that basis of course this was an opportunity to see how he might fare in the responsibilities. this is the one great civic occasion under the british constitution, we describe the monarch as being the dignified part of the constitution. no longer direct political power

asking prince charles to step in is a further sign the queen's handing over some of her duties to her. ham pala said the queen took the decision to draw in consultation with her doctors as she continues to experience episodic ability concerns. it has been 59 years sce the queen last missed one. the prince of wales read the words for him. setting up the uk's program for the year ahead. >> the government's priority is to grow and strengthen the economy and help ease the cost of living for families. her majesty's government will level out opportunity and all parts of the country. and subverting -- >> her majesty has only missed giving the speech on two previous occasions. it was an empty or house of lords this year. the queen is said to watch this year's television. >> her absence was really felt amongst politicians, diplomats, everybody. there hasn't been a speech she has missed since 1953 when she was pregnant. the absence of the monarch, as to the politics of it, what struck me was for aovernment that has an adc -- 80 seat democracy, it was an evolution rather than revolution. i gover

the top story for metro is the state opening of parliament — with its contents read by prince charlesat the queen watched the ceremony on television. the independent also pictures prince charles, but focuses its front page on criticisms of borisjohnson's supposed failure to tackle the rising cost of living, quoting sir keir starmer who described it as "a thin address bereft of ideas". the guardian similarly focussing on the labour leader's criticism of the government's bills annouced in today's ceremony. the i too goes with the cost of living — claiming a contradiction between borisjohnson wanting to unveil a releif plan by the end of this month — and the lack of financial support mentioned in the queen's speech. the telegraph, though leads off its political coverage quoting liz truss who has said tonight she "won't shy away" from legislation that would unilaterally scrap key parts of the northern ireland protocol. the paper says an announcement could come as early as next week. let's get cracking. that evening to both. thank you for coming on and agreeing to talk us through the paper

she headed over the duty to her air, prince charles -- her heir, prince charles. our correspondent, i asked the question about the prince stepping in and how he did. >> itas a marker in the history, the first time he has done this. we were not the only one tune in to see how it went, the queen was tuning in to take a lo at how her son was doing and was key constitutional role. he has been preparing for the moment like this. he has been in waiting for this role, it has to be pointed out that so much of this event is pageantry and tradition. so many time-honored things that many outside of the u.k. and in the u.k. think is often quite bizarre. there is a lot of structure to this. the speech is short and it is written by the government. this is not something that he prepared himself. we were not expecting any real fireworks. a huge amount of attention here. looking at how he was doing because essentially this is a clip -- glimpse into the future for the first time. seeing him perform this constitutional role, you do see this slow, gradual transition into prince charl

it�*s interesting because it was the opening line of the speech that prince charles delivered — it wasalking about today. but the big criticism that's come from boris johnson's opponents is that he hasn't done enoughin opponents is that he hasn't done enough in this legislative programme to tackle the cost—of—living crisis in the uk. so there's a lot of calls from opposition parties here for an emergency budget, for more money to go into the system, to try and help people with things like rising energy bills, to help them with the impact of inflation on the economy. the argument you heard from boris johnson today, though, was that you can't just johnson today, though, was that you can'tjust keep spending money, that the answer isn't simply to throw cash at every crisis, and that he wants to grow the economy instead to try and ease the burden on people. and i actually think that'll probably be the big political debate here in the uk for the next few months. �* ~ , ., months. and the prime minister also sa s he months. and the prime minister also says he would _ months. and the prime min

in her place prince charles performed the duty doing that on her behalf this morning, and he was accompaniedhave been questions about the queen's health including fears of covid. do we know where things stand? >> reporter: well, we know that buckingham palace issued a statement late in the day on monday, yesterday evening announcing that she wouldn't be taking part in this crucial ceremonial role that monarchs play opening the parliament here so that the legislative agenda can proceed and all those bills that the government wants to introduce or 38 that were introduced today can go through. it was decided very late in the day due to mobility problemsmsms that she's suffering that she would have to pull out of that and instead be replaced by her son prince charles and also his heir apparent prince william as well. it does raise questions about just how present the monarch is going to be in the months to come. we've got the platinum jubilee coming up in less than three weeks' time. big celebrations, military parades. gradually we're seeing the monarch remove herself from some of these big occa

as prince charles took his place on the consort�*s throne, the imperial state crown, the symbol of theprince studied it closely, and then, with lords and commons assembled, a prince who has never been short of his own opinions took on the discipline required of a monarch. reading out the words written by the government. the continued success and integrity of the whole of the united kingdom is of paramount importance to her majesty's government. it was this, the regency act of 1937 that the palace used to delegate the power to open parliament. yet nobody is suggesting a permanent transfer of the monarch�*s powers. the queen is still busy with her paper work and virtual audiences. changes are happening, but they are gradual. for the queen, it has always been very important to carry out all her public duties in public whenever she can. she's famously said "to be seen is to be believed," and she believes the monarchy must be seen, but in future it is likely what we will see is other members of the royal family carrying out royal duties on her behalf. for seven decades, britain has had a hi

that unfortunately, it is time for us perhaps to say goodbye to have rain and let prince charles take over his prince regents and let that pass and be passed on. what does that mean? correct me if i'm wrong, but as i've always understood it, queen elizabeth has always been adequately against doing that. she is the monarch. she is the sovereign until she dines and her son has to wait until she dines to become king. is that changing? well actually, i mean that's what we've always been led to believe, but actually the reality of it is, is different from that going back in history. you have a situation where are the people might remember the hollywood film, the madness of king george way back in the early 19th century. you had a king who lost his mind. his son became the prince rage and he was king in 09. and at that time, when those those conventions were stablish, it was also if the moment was, in fact, if they were physically or mentally unable to do the job. and i'm not saying that the queen is in for, i'm not saying that it's all, but you see the use of the language. she has mobility
