According to the Crown Chronicles:
Today’s State Opening of Parliament was a casual affair…
Her Majesty arrived at the Houses of Parliament in a Bentley…instead of the traditional horse-drawn carriages.
The Imperial State Crown arrived ahead of the Royals, also in a car. The crown only leaves the Tower of London for coronations and the opening.
The Queen read out a speech, which sets out the government’s plans for the next year; however, this Queen’s Speech is to last for two sessions. 2018’s State Opening of Parliament has been cancelled, in order to ‘provide stability’ whilst Brexit negotiations are ongoing.
