Speech from the Throne

A speech from the throne is an event in certain monarchies where the reigning sovereign or their representative reads a prepared speech to the legislature, outlining the government's priorities and seeking cooperation. Historically, the monarch supervised the drafting of the speech, but in modern constitutional monarchies, the speech is prepared by the ministers in cabinet. The speech is often accompanied by formal ceremony and is held annually in many places, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Norway.learn more on wikipedia
