Who reads the Parliament and working agenda for the coming year at the State Opening of Parliament?

It is the Queen or King that gives the speech from the House of Lords at the Opening of Parliament. The monarch is not allowed to enter the House of Parliament. This dates back to when, in 1642 King Charles I, stormed into the House of Commons and tried to arrest five Member's of Parliament, (MPs). Since which they have barred the King or Queen from entry. The speech is actually written by the Government and is known as the Queen's Speech (or King's Speech).
