Queen Elizabeth really shook things up at this year’s State Opening of Parliament ceremony, where she delivered her royal speech.
During the event, the Queen, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, opened a new session of Parliament, which brings together the House of Commons, the House of Lords and the Monarch. The 93-year-old monarch left her royal jewels and robes at home for a rare dressed-down version.
Instead of wearing her formal State Robe (ya know, the 18-foot-long crimson velvet cape that weighs 15 lbs), Elizabeth wore a teal dress and matching hat.
