Chastened by an election result which left her Conservative Party short of a majority in parliament, May also watered down pledges on social care reform, education, corporate governance and energy markets. Four militant attacks have raised questions about her grip on national security, and the death of at least 79 people in a tower block fire has become a flashpoint for public anger at her party's record in government.
The queen said: "My government's priority is to secure the best possible deal as the country leaves the European Union".
May said in a statement last night to the BBC: 'The election result was not the one I hoped for, but this government will respond with humility and resolve to the message the electorate sent.
Signaling the importance of Brexit, the queen will set out plans not for the usual one year, but for two years.
Officials have repeatedly said planning for the visit will go forward.
He added: "That means it's going to be a realistic Queen's Speech that recognises how some of the more controversial proposals that we had will now be hard to achieve".
She said: "First, we need to get Brexit right".

The Queen's Speech is expected to include legislation around reducing tenancy fees and energy prices, the Times has reported.
The government has also promised to continue to convert failing maintained schools into academies "so that they can benefit from the support of a strong sponsor".
But she insisted there would be no going back on Brexit, pointing out that more than 80% of voters on June 8 backed parties promising to honour the referendum result.
Then, instead of the bolder vision beyond Brexit she had set out in her manifesto, Conservative sources confirmed Ms May's proposals would be limited to bills to reduce motor insurance premiums and restructure financial authorities, alongside draft bills to strengthen domestic violence laws and scrap tenants' fees.
May has resisted calls to resign and is hoping for the support of the DUP's 10 MPs to boost her tally of 317 seats in the 650-seat parliament, but a deal has proved elusive so far. The party should not be taken for granted, it said.
Parliament must pass the Queen's Speech in a vote, but with May yet to secure a deal with the DUP, she is aware that failure to get the speech through could be seen as a vote of no confidence.
DUP insiders are thought to be arguing that failure to reach agreement on a "confidence and supply" deal could cost the Conservatives more in the long run, as they would be forced to come cap in hand for the party's support on a vote-by-vote basis in the years to come.
