Prime Time Prime Ministers

Only two years late, it's time for the final episode of our "Election Special" series! Today, we're looking at the State Opening of Parliament and His/Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech. It's one of the big political events of the year, and comes with a suitable quantity of uniforms, robes, crowns, amusing job titles, and ceremony. Politics meets monarchy and the results are fascinating.
