What we know about the King’s historic visit
- The King will be the second monarch, after Queen Elizabeth II, to open Canada’s parliament and deliver the speech outlining the government’s legislative agenda.
- The visit comes after the Liberal Party’s recent election win, partly attributed to their opposition to former US President Donald Trump.
- The royal couple’s itinerary includes celebrating Canada’s cultural diversity, meeting with key figures like Governor General Mary Simon and Prime Minister Mark Carney, and attending a reception for provincial and territorial representatives.
- The visit aims to highlight the relationship between Canada and the Crown, as well as Canada’s strength and diversity.
