King Charles and Queen Camilla embark on historic Canada tour
Buckingham Palace has announced an upcoming visit by King Charles III and Queen Camilla to Canada, beginning May 26 and ending May 27, 2025. The royal family shared a video on Instagram showcasing an enthusiastic King Charles at the departure airport in the UK.
The engrossing video showcases the King greeting an individual before ascending aircraft stairs, with the caption, "Canada, see you soon." The monarch's team will be making history as King Charles will be the first King to attend the State Opening of the Parliament of Canada in nearly 70 years.
The royal couple is scheduled to arrive in Ottawa later today. Their itinerary includes a series of public and ceremonial events. On May 26, they will participate in a community event at Lansdowne Park, involve themselves in a ceremonial tree planting at Rideau Hall, and make a public appearance along Wellington Street. On May 27, they will visit the National War Memorial.
Although this visit does not directly address Donald Trump's past remark about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state, the royal tour implicitly reaffirms Canada's sovereignty and identity as a constitutional monarchy. The visit is primarily focused on strengthening the bond between Canada and the monarchy, celebrating Canada's heritage, and promoting shared values between the King and Canadians, such as environmental stewardship and youth empowerment.
Fans eagerly await King Charles's Speech from the Throne, scheduled for Ottawa on Tuesday. The tour emphasizes cultural, historical, and diplomatic aspects, rather than engaging in political or territorial debates.
