	Speech from the Throne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Speech from the Throne (or Throne Speech) is an event in certain monarchies in which the monarch (or a representative) reads a prepared speech to a complete session of parliament, outlining the government's agenda for the coming year.
		In the United Kingdom, the speech from the throne is commonly called the Queen's Speech and is part of a lavish affair known as the State Opening of Parliament, with many formalities and traditions, including the Queen's wearing of her official state crown.
		In most cases, the speech is read in a neutral voice, and although the Head of State may refer to "my government," it is clearly established that the speech is not meant to imply endorsement or support for the stated policies.
