King Charles visits National War Memorial, following throne speech hailing 'incredible opportunity' for Canada
The Latest King Charles is laying a wreath at the National War Memorial's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, after having delivered the throne speech opening Parliament. The King began the speech from the throne by praising "Canada's unique identity" and highlighting its British, French and Indigenous roots. Many of the themes in the speech echoed, sometimes word for word, Prime Minister Mark Carney's election promises. It was mostly written by the Canadian government. It's the third time the monarch has read the throne speech. His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, delivered the speech in Parliament in 1957 and 1977. King Charles inspected the guard after receiving a royal salute and a guard of honour from the Royal Canadian Regiment; he is the unit's commander-in-chief. The King and Queen Camilla travelled through downtown Ottawa in a horse-drawn carriage on their way to the Senate. Carney invited Charles to visit Canada to give the speech amid sovereignty threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.
