Prince Charles made an appearance at the State Opening of Parliament today, filling in for his mother to unveil the Conservative government's plan for the United Kingdom. The Queen today missed the ceremony for the first time in 59 years, which was explained by mobility issues.
The heir to the throne outlined the government's plan in 38 laws for the year ahead. These include the privatisation of Channel 4 and the banning of conversation therapy for everyone except transgender people.
A new bill will also sweep away EU law in a so-called "Brexit Opportunities Bill". There will also be a bill that will permit UK ports to block ships that fail to pay their seafarers the minimum wage in the wake of the P&O Ferries scandal, the Mirror reports.
