King Charles delivers first King’s Speech in over 70 years

In his first speech to open Parliament, King Charles III outlined the British government’s legislative priorities, including a plan to expand oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. This decision goes against the king’s personal beliefs and has faced opposition from climate change campaigners. Despite his advocacy for climate action, King Charles maintained a neutral demeanor in his speech, emphasizing protocol and royal regalia. The government’s proposal aims to align with the king’s climate change goals by utilizing British energy resources.
