According to a royal specialist, a number of alterations have been done at Buckingham Palace “to suit Queen Elizabeth’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.”

She added that “Prince Charles has been at her side in the past so we could see do the Queen’s speech this year” at the State Opening of Parliament event “but only time will tell”.

Ms. Oliveri continued: “This is the big speech that lays out the government’s plan for the next year,” adding the speech is “incredibly important” for Her Majesty.
