The House of Commons elected a Speaker today, and the ‘Royal Approbation’ ceremony for the Speaker-elect will take place in the House of Lords chamber.
This reflects the Speaker's constitutional role as spokesperson for the House, with rights of access to the Sovereign. Historically the Speaker’s role was to report to the Monarch on the Commons’ deliberations. Although this has not been the case for several hundred years, the tradition of Royal permission and Royal approbation remains.
