The British Union Flag was lowered and the Royal Standard was flown over the Palace of Westminster to indicate the king was present. Charles then delivered a speech laying out the legislative program of the UK's first left-leaning government in 14 years. During his speech, written by the elected government, the king said Britain would get more houses and infrastructure projects built, strengthen workers’ rights and create a new industrial strategy.
