House of Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt, has disclosed that King Charles III is scheduled to deliver his inaugural King’s Speech during the UK state opening of parliament on November 7.
The recently crowned king will present Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s agenda for the upcoming year, which is expected to include preparations for a potential general election.
“I can confirm that the state opening of parliament will take place on 7 November 2023,” said Mordaunt.
It will be Charles’ first time giving the set-piece address since becoming king, but he previously filled in for his late mother Queen Elizabeth II during the beginning of parliament in 2022.
