King Charles heads to Canada for a historic visit as the nation prepares for a rare royal parliamentary opening amid ongoing political tensions.
King Charles flies to Canada for a two-day visit, his first since becoming monarch in September 2022. Invited by Prime Minister Mark Carney, Charles will open Canada’s parliament on Tuesday, a role last held by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, nearly seven decades ago. Despite ongoing cancer treatment, the 76-year-old monarch’s trip highlights his dedication to Canada, one of the 15 Commonwealth realms he reigns over.
The visit sends a clear message against suggestions by U.S. President Donald Trump that Canada could become the 51st U.S. state — a notion firmly rejected by Carney and supported by Canada’s envoy to the UK, Ralph Goodale. Alongside Queen Camilla, Charles will participate in cultural events and deliver a ceremonial speech that celebrates Canada’s history, democracy, and unity. This historic occasion aims to reinforce the strong bonds between Canada and the Crown amid current geopolitical tensions.
The trip is expected to strengthen the bond between Canada and the Crown while celebrating the nation’s diversity and unity on the global stage.
