The British royal couple attends the State Opening of Parliament ceremony in London

The British royal couple, King Charles and Queen Camilla, attended the State Opening of Parliament in London today, marking the official start of the parliamentary year and setting out the government's agenda for the session.

King Charles, 77, and Queen Camilla, 78, travelled from Buckingham Palace to Parliament in a horse-drawn carriage through the streets of London with the Irish State Coach, which has been used at royal events, including carrying Queen Elizabeth to her 1947 wedding to Prince Philip.

They then entered the chamber of the House of Lords in a grand procession.

King Charles wore the Imperial State Crown during the ceremony. He first wore the historic headpiece at his coronation in May 2023.

Although he was officially crowned with the St Edward's Crown, which is only used to crown a new king or queen during the coronation ceremony, he replaced it with the Imperial State Crown towards the end of his service./CNA
