The Queen is no longer wearing the crown, which is a significant change

According to a royal specialist, a number of alterations have been done at Buckingham Palace “to suit the Queen’s comfort during Parliament.”

This follows preparations for Prince Charles to fill in for Her Majesty at a May function there.

Due to her bad health, Her Majesty’s presence at the impending State Opening of Parliament is still doubtful.

Natalie Oliveri, a royal correspondent for Australian television station 9Honey, stated that “a number of alterations have been made to suit the Queen’s comfort at Parliament.”

According to the expert, some of the modifications include her “no longer wearing the very hefty imperial state crown” and “using the elevator rather than the stairs.”

“Prince Charles has been at her side in the past, so we might see do the Queen’s speech this year,” she said, “but only time will tell.”

“This is the key address that lays out the government’s agenda for the following year,” Ms Oliveri added, adding that the speech is “very significant” for Her Majesty.
