The King and Queen attended the State Opening of Parliament

Queen Camilla has been pictured with no ankle bandage just one day after sustaining a foot injury.

The King and Queen attended the State Opening of Parliament today, in keeping with royal tradition.


The State Opening of Parliament took place in the House of Lords to mark the formal start of Parliament's new session.

King Charles, 75, and Camilla, who turned 77 today, arrived to unveil Keir Starmer's new legislation.

It was the first time Camilla had been seen since the Queen was photographed in Guernsey with a foot bandage.

Aides confirmed Queen Camilla suffered a "slight ankle sprain" while in Jersey with her husband.

The Royal Family has suffered several health crises during 2024, beginning with Princess Kate and King Charles's cancer diagnoses.

Sarah Ferguson also revealed she had battled skin cancer, her second cancer diagnosis within a year.

Princess Anne, 73, was later hospitalised with a head injury, believed to have been caused by an altercation with a horse.

During today's ceremony, Black Rod is sent to summon the House of Commons to listen to the King's Speech in the House of Lords.

Slamming the door as Black Rod approaches symbolises the independence of the Commons from the monarchy.

The King's Speech will set out the Government’s agenda for the next session, outlining proposed policies and legislation.

After the speech, a new parliamentary session starts with both the House of Commons and the House of Lords debating the contents of the King's Speech.

Queen Camilla covered her foot injury with a white floor-length Fiona Clare dress today.

She paired the gown with an £800,000 diamond diadem, previously worn by Queen Elizabeth II.
