British police are set to dramatically enhance security measures for King Charles III's upcoming visit to the newly elected parliament. The decision comes in the wake of a recent assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, prompting authorities to create a formidable "steel ring" of protection in central London.
According to Report, which cites The Standard, police have begun erecting barriers around the parliament building, signaling the start of an extensive security operation.
Hundreds of police officers, including plainclothes agents, will be deployed throughout central London and surrounding streets.
Snipers will be strategically positioned atop key buildings surrounding the Palace of Westminster, home to the UK Parliament, to ensure the monarch's protection.
King Charles's address to parliament, known as the "King's Speech," is a time-honored tradition dating back centuries.
During this ceremony, the monarch will outline the government's legislative agenda for the upcoming parliamentary session and oversee the swearing-in of elected parliamentarians.
