Royal Family: Outrage as Queen's CROWN gets its own car to take it to State Opening of Parliament

Londoners and those around the country have expressed their outrage after the Queen's Crown was delivered to Parliament in its own car. The Crown was transported via a Rolls Royce from Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament this morning (May 10). It was being delivered to Westminster for the Opening of Parliament speech, due to the Queen missing out because of mobility issues, Prince Charles took over proceedings.

Prince Charles's speech touched upon social housing but it wasn't the words within his speech that people seemed concerned about. The fact that a whole car transported the Crown frustrated people who said that it was "bad for the climate" and "unnecessary". One woman who was particularly unhappy took to Twitter.

She said: "Even the most ferocious advocates of constitutional monarchy would struggle to explain why a bedazzled hat should get its own car so that an elected parliament can get on with its business." With another adding: "Preach environmental issues and rock up in Rolls Royce".

Climate issues were the main problem people had with the Crown needing its own car. Among other criticism, one woman even suggested that the Royals didn't understand the cost of living crisis at the moment. She said: "Could they not have walked or at least shared a car? I see the cost of living energy/fuel crisis isn’t a problem for the Windsors."

There were others who disagreed with the whole procession and thought that it didn't need to be "exaggerated". One man said: "Embarrassing nonsense, can't believe this is taken seriously." Whilst another added: "Why do we tolerate this nonsense."

This year, The Queen missed the State Opening of Parliament for the first time in 59 years. Buckingham Palace revealed she has been having mobility issues, so made the decision not to attend. Prince Charles stepped in but the Queen's seat remained empty with the Imperial Crown in place next to Charles in her absence.
