10 Downing Street announced that the State Opening of Parliament and the Queen's speech will take place on 19 December, after the general election
November 25, 2019 - 14:34 GMT Danielle Stacey The Queen may have to delay her Christmas plans slightly, due to the upcoming general election. The 93-year-old monarch usually catches the train to Sandringham on the Thursday before Christmas Day, so she can oversee preparations for the festivities with her family, but she might have to rearrange her plans.
var playerInstance=playerInstance || []; playerInstance['EkQXWOQs']=document.addEventListener=> { window.player=lf.player; }); With the general election taking place on 12 December, 10 Downing Street has announced that if Boris Johnson returns as Prime Minister, the State Opening of Parliament and the Queen's Speech will follow on Thursday 19 December.
While the monarch donned the full ceremonial regalia, she did not wear the Imperial State Crown – instead it was placed next to her on a cushion. The headpiece weighs more than 1kg and is adorned with 2,901 precious stones, making it very, very heavy! So, given its weight and her age, the Queen opted for the smaller George IV State Diadem throughout the entire ceremony instead.
