King Charles and Queen Camilla have visited Canada for a whirlwind 24-hour royal visit.
Although brief, the visit made a significant impact on the Canadian public.
Upon their arrival on May 26, the royal couple were greeted warmly by well-wishers at Landsdowne Park in Ottawa.
Some Canadians called out “welcome home” to the King, who was making his 20th official visit to the country, but first as sovereign. Others simply thanked the couple for coming.
The 76-year-old monarch, who is still undergoing weekly cancer treatments, and Queen Camilla, 77, participated in a community event where they met representatives from organisations across Canada.
The centrepiece of the royal visit was King Charles’ historic address to the Canadian legislature on May 27, making him only the second monarch to open Parliament in this manner.
The King’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was the first and only previous sovereign to deliver such a speech in October 1957.
In his address, King Charles carefully navigated the diplomatic sensitivities between Canada and its southern neighbour, the United States.
This comes amid tensions following Canadian Prime Minister Carney’s recent election victory, widely interpreted as a rejection of President Trump’s agenda.
