Crisis averted for The Queen as Royal Ascot & the State Opening of Parliament fail to overlap
27th April 2017
A near-crisis has been averted for The Queen after it was revealed that the State Opening of Parliament and Royal Ascot meeting would fall on different days.
It was feared that Her Majesty would be forced to miss one of her favourite days of the year at the Berkshire racecourse if the State Opening occurred on the same day.
The State Opening of Parliament will take place on Monday, June 19th.
