Camilla's presence at the Queen's speech questioned

Queen Elizabeth II has delivered her sixty-fifth speech to the House of Lords, accompanied by Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, with many people questioning if her presence was necessary.

Viewers took to Twitter to ask why the Duchess was present at the Queen's speech at the State Opening of Parliament which outlined the Government's legislative agenda, including Brexit, the National Health Service, crime and justice. Some noted that they thought the 93-year-old looked 'furious' while delivering her speech.

This is the first time the Duchess has ever taken part in the Queen's speech with Prince Charles also in attendance.

One viewer wrote "Charles and Camilla. Is that really necessary?" with another saying "Queeny bought Camilla with her?? Didn't realise it was bring a witch to work day #QueensSpeech"

The Queen, the Duchess and Prince Charles took the Queen's Diamond Jubilee State Coach, a horse-drawn carriage from Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament.

The Queen also took a break from tradition, choosing not to wear The Imperial State Crown which was instead placed on a pillow next to her, instead wearing a smaller crown.

Not everyone was critical of the Duchess, with many social media users praising her outfit for the occasion on Twitter.

"Camilla's gown looks amazing! #QueensSpeech" one said with another defending Camilla on Twitter saying "#Camilla looked like a #Queen today again. I really love and admire her! She's wonderful! #DuchessofCornwall #queensspeech"

Camilla and clothing weren't the only topics fans were expressing their concerns over with many questioning Her Majesty's health earlier today.
