Tuesday marked the first King’s Speech given in the United Kingdom in over 70 years. In it, King Charles III outlined the legislative agenda that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had set for the upcoming parliamentary session. Along with Queen Camilla, King Charles arrived at the Palace of Westminster for the State Opening of Parliament. In May 2022, with Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state and Boris Johnson as prime minister, the last session of Parliament convened.
King Charles III indicated that his ministers will take the “difficult but necessary long-term decisions to change this country for the better” as he laid out the legislative agenda for the upcoming parliamentary session at the House of Lords. Prime Minister Sunak had organized this agenda.
I give this King’s Speech—the first in more than 70 years—with gratitude for my late mother, the late Queen, who left a legacy of dedication and commitment to this nation. Significant long-term issues have been created for the United Kingdom by the effects of COVID-19 and the conflict in Ukraine. Therefore, the top goal of my government is to take the tough but essential long-term measures to improve this nation,” King Charles stated in prepared remarks.
King Charles commented, “My ministers’ focus is on increasing economic growth and safeguarding the health and security of the British people for generations to come,” in reference to the nation’s inflation rate. My government will keep working to lower inflation, lower family expenses, and assist companies in raising capital for investments and new hires. My ministers will work with the Bank of England to responsibly manage borrowing and expenditure in order to bring inflation back to goal.
