King Charles III and Queen Camilla made a grand entry into Canada this week, marking a historic moment in royal relations. The King, who previously visited Canada as Prince of Wales, is there to deliver the Speech from the Throne, opening the 45th session of Canada’s parliament. This choice is symbolic; while the governor general typically reads the address, Prime Minister Mark Carney requested Charles himself deliver it in light of recent tensions between Canada and the U.S.
The Speech from the Throne, delivered from the Senate, sets the government's agenda for the parliamentary session. It's a moment steeped in tradition, with only one other monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, doing so in 1977.
During his visit, King Charles engaged with various representatives of Canadian identity and diversity, highlighting the relationship between the Crown and Canada. With full military honors planned, including a 21-gun salute, the king’s actions underscore the country’s sovereignty amidst ongoing challenges. From tree-planting to wearing Canadian medals, Charles has shown unwavering support for Canada, reaffirming the country’s values of democracy and unity.
Stay tuned as this royal visit unfolds on the world stage!
