June 19 the Queen will "dress down" -- State Opening; Prince William won't have to "dress up" --Order of Garter service has been cancelled
Reason for cancellation
For June State Opening, it'll be a "dressed down " Queen -- no robes or crown. Last happened after March 1974 snap election.

Ceremonial elements for this year's State Opening being scaled back because of lack of time to rehearse. Trooping the Colour 2 days earlier

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall won't be at the State Opening. Likely to return next year. (along with the carriages).
