King's Speech: The full text of Charles' address in House of Lords
"An increasingly dangerous and volatile world threatens the United Kingdom, with the conflict in the Middle East only the most recent example. Every element of the nation's energy, defence and economic security will be tested. My Government will respond to this world with strength and aim to create a country that is fair for all. My Ministers will take decisions that protect the energy, defence and economic security of the United Kingdom for the long-term."
The Independent describes its reporting approach across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, emphasizing fact-checking and on-the-ground journalism. It states that donations fund journalists to speak to both sides and that reporting and analysis are not locked behind paywalls. The text then shifts to the State Opening of Parliament, where King Charles III delivers the King’s Speech outlining the Government’s legislative priorities for the year ahead. The speech frames an increasingly dangerous and volatile world as a threat to the United Kingdom, citing conflict in the Middle East. It says the Government will respond with strength and aim to create a fair country, with ministers taking long-term decisions to protect energy, defence, and economic security while defending British values.
