I don’t have live access to current feeds in this turn, but I can share what’s typical and how to verify.
- The King’s Speech time is usually announced by Parliament ahead of the state opening and is commonly scheduled around 11:30 am local time, with coverage by major broadcasters.[3]
- On the day, the ceremony kicks off the new session of Parliament in the Lords, followed by debates in the Commons, but exact start times can shift by a few minutes due to ceremonial proceedings.[3]
- For the most reliable answer today, check BBC News, ITV, Sky News or the official Parliament Twitter/X feed moments before the event; they’ll publish the exact start time and any schedule changes.[3]
If you’d like, I can pull in live sources in a follow-up message and give you a precise time with citations.
