Prince Charles led the state opening of the British Parliament on Tuesday, filling in for his mother as she continues to recover from health problems that started last fall.
The speech, written by the British government, highlighted key parts of the legislative agenda British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hopes to achieve in the year, including new laws and reforms related to transportation, mental healthcare, animal welfare, improvement in the economic hardships in the United Kingdom, and support for Ukraine during its war with Russia.
Charles added that a"Bill of Rights" will also be introduced this year to help restore the balance of power between the courts and Parliament. The speech also emphasized the U.K.'s role on the global stage, including promises to work with NATO, take economic advantage of Britain's exit from the European Union, and continue to invest in the country's armed forces. The agenda will now go to the floor of Parliament, with key parts debated over the next several days.
