King Charles III and Queen Camilla will officially open the Senedd's seventh term on Thursday during a visit to Wales.

It will be the first time the monarch will have visited the Welsh Parliament since 2024, and the first official meeting with Rhun ap Iorwerth since he became Wales' first minister.

The visit comes as it emerged Wales' national poet would not be taking part in ceremony as planned, after Senedd officials rejected the poem she had written for the event.

King Charles will give a speech to the Senedd before meeting a number of invited guests, including 10-year-old Noah Jones, whose great-grandfather survived the 1966 Aberfan coal tip disaster.

Former Labour First Minister Mark Drakeford has said it is time to consider scrapping the UK government's Wales Office.

Drakeford said "the time has come" to think about abolishing the department, which was largely stripped of its powers when devolution began in 1999.

Asked on S4C's Y Byd yn ei Le if he would be happy to get rid of the Wales Office, Drakeford said: "Yes, I think the time has come for us to think about that."

But Labour MP Ruth Jones described the suggestion as "foolish", arguing Welsh Secretary Stephen Kinnock was "fighting the corner for Wales".
