It was reported on Monday that HM Queen Elizabeth II will not be attending the State Opening of Parliament for the first time in nearly 60 years.
In a statement given by Buckingham Palace, it explained that Her Majesty has been advised by doctors to not attend the State Opening.
Instead, her son Prince Charles and her grandson, Prince William, will be attending in her absence.
Her Majesty's absence means the Prince of Wales will be reading the Queen's speech for the first time.
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Monday, they explain: "The Queen continues to experience episodic mobility problems, and in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow.
The Scottish Daily Press reports that Her Majesty's episodic mobility issues are a continuation of the problems the Queen has suffered since the fall of 2021.
