Princess Anne has been appointed as Charles's bodyguard and 'Gold-Stick-in-Waiting' for the King's Speech. The State Opening of Parliament will feature traditional ceremonies such as the Yeoman of the Guard searching for gunpowder and Black Rod banging on the Commons door. King Charles will wear the Imperial State Crown and the Robe of State. Queen Camilla will re-wear her embroidered coronation gown and the George IV State Diadem crown. Charles has given key roles to boys who performed at the Coronation. The King's Speech is seen as a symbol of the stability of the British political system.
