“These challenging times.” The Queen’s Speech as delivered by the Prince of Wales today, in full.

“My Government’s priority is to grow and strengthen the economy and help ease the cost of living for families.”

The Queen’s Speech: The Bills

A rundown of the bills announced during the State Opening of Parliament by the Prince of Wales earlier today.

“We have been surprised by the EU’s willingness to resort quite quickly to threats”. Lord Frost’s Königswinter speech.

“We do have a challenge…it is to respond to the new political configuration here without falling into the trap of statism.”

“We’re so deeply touched by the number of other people…who also share our loss and our sorrow.”

After the Duke

In looking to the monarchy’s future, we follow in his footsteps. He was its original moderniser in our times.

Joe Porter: In Staffordshire Moorlands, we are taking practical action to help tackle climate change

Community orchards, wildflower meadows, peatland restoration, and woodland expansion benefit our environment and our economy.

James Gurd: So often, views of the Middle East are out of date. As this historic deal between Israel and the UEA shows.

Sunni Arab leaders now recognise that Iran’s aggression represents an existential threat to more than just the Jewish state.

The Sussexes – out. Not half in and half out. The Queen acts swiftly and effectively.

How to leave the Royal Family – as working members of it, at any rate

The principle behind any settlement for the Sussexes should be simple: one can’t be half in and half out.

The Stewart over the water

Much of politics is teamwork. Can he now create a coalition among Tory MPs, not to mention Party members, that builds on his appeal to many voters?

Profile: The Prince of Wales. Will he reign well?

It is an extremely tough task to prepare to be a constitutional monarch, or indeed to take on the actual role.

Iain Dale: Gammon if you think you’re hard enough. The patronising Remainers who’ve lost but can’t move on.

Plus: Boles was right (first time round) on Gaza. The Dambusters raid anniversary. A Tory poll lead. Plus: a man and a woman will marry in Windsor on Saturday.

Peter Marshall: A hard truth after the Commonwealth summit. There’s no institutional awareness of its importance.

I have lost count of the number of times I have heard its demise confidently predicted or stridently recommended. Houdini-like, it has so far escaped this awaited fate.

“He is Colonel-in-Chief of a host of regiments, commanded in the Royal Navy and was a helicopter pilot.”
