King Charles III and Queen Camilla depart the Houses of Parliament after attending the State Opening of Parliament on November 7, 2023As a constitutional monarch, Charles must remain apolitical, primarily operating as an arm of parliament rather than the other way around. Since inheriting the throne in September 2022, he has pretty much toed this line.
The speech read: “This bill will support the future licensing of new oil and gas fields, helping the country to transition to net zero by 2050 without adding undue burdens on households.” These policies from Sunak have been slammed by a range of voices, including Cop26 President and Tory MP Alok Sharma,“For any party to resile from this agenda will not help economically or electorally.”Poor Charles.
