This year seems prepared to follow that same spirit.

A virtual reality first for the monarchy

According to The Sun, King Charles’ speech will also be available in virtual reality. Viewers using Meta Quest 3 VR headsets will apparently be able to choose between an environment that resembles a warm wooden lodge or a cinema setting. The experience is designed to feel immersive, almost as if the viewer has taken a seat in a location built just for the occasion. Sources quoted by the newspaper explained that the royal household has always tried to welcome new technology as part of the tradition. The aim is to reach audiences where they are, including younger generations who consume content differently. Buckingham Palace has not commented yet, but interest in this expansion is already noticeable among royal watchers.
