prorogue

As we just mentioned, the King prorogued Parliament for the first time during his reign at the end of the day on Friday.

As Parliament was prorogued and a handful of government bills rushed through before the cut-off:

After a flurry of last-minute legislation, Parliament will be prorogued, or formally suspended, in a ceremony featuring hat-doffing, lords in ermine-trimmed robes and commands in Norman French.

The current session of Parliament will be “prorogued,” or ended, on Friday based on an order that Charles approved during a meeting of the Privy Council on Thursday at Buckingham Palace.

Parliament was in session but was prorogued on Monday through a government notification uploaded on its website.
