The first time I noticed this was outside Canada&#8217;s Senate, ahead of officially opening the 45th session of the country&#8217;s Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>Having arrived via horse-drawn carriage with Queen Camilla, he inspected a 100-person guard of honour and stood on the Dias.<\/p>\n<p>Then, he spotted the crowds, who were extremely happy to see their King, singing along with the military band, playing the national anthem. He appeared visibly moved by the crowd&#8217;s reaction to him, gazing with a poignant expression.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, His Majesty delivered a speech, written by his Government in Canada, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney.<\/p>\n<p>The final line of His Majesty&#8217;s lengthy speech read: &#8220;May you honour the profound trust bestowed upon you by Canadians, and may God bless and guide you in all your duties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As he said this, King Charles&#8217; voice appeared to crack. A royal source told me his voice genuinely cracked with emotion, on the brink of tears.<\/p>\n<p>So, what made King Charles so emotional on Tuesday? Was it the sense of pride Canadians have for their homeland, as they face Donald Trump&#8217;s hostilities?<\/p>\n<p>Or, perhaps, the fact that he was standing on Canadian soil for the first time as sovereign? Of course, we cannot read King Charles&#8217;s mind, but gone are the days when our Monarch shows no emotion. <\/p>\n<p>His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, rarely (if ever) got emotional in public. King Charles is 76 and continues a weekly cycle of cancer treatment. A senior Palace official told me there has been &#8220;no change&#8221; in his condition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"0397d\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"19d964e73d5415fd6e95d62c820d9de1\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image \" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20712'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/king-charles.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"712\" alt=\"King Charles\"\/><\/p>\n<p>King Charles &#8217;emotional&#8217; during Canada visit.<\/p>\n<p>Getty \/ GB News<\/p>\n<p><strong>ROYALS RALLY AROUND LIVERPOOL AFTER ALLEGED ATTACK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong\/>On Monday, a car rammed into a crowd at Liverpool\u2019s Premier League victory parade, injuring 79 people.<\/p>\n<p>The incident made global headlines and triggered an unusually quick response from the Royal Family.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Princess Anne visited the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, where she met with medical staff and emergency service workers who treated the injured.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is common in such circumstances for a member of the Royal Family to visit the injured in hospital, it usually does not happen a day after the alleged event.<\/p>\n<p>I understand the Princess Royal was scheduled to be on an &#8220;away day&#8221; in Liverpool on Tuesday anyway, and decided to make time to meet medical staff treating the injured.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the King released a statement saying he and the Queen were &#8220;shocked and saddened&#8221; and that their &#8220;prayers and deepest sympathy&#8221; were with all those affected.<\/p>\n<p>The Prince and Princess of Wales added that they were &#8220;deeply saddened&#8221; and their &#8220;thoughts are with those injured&#8221; and with the emergency services.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"331ac\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"b51af246acbb69e6a91d255e1d3267e0\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image \" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%204629%203684'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748662811_789_princess-anne.jpg\" width=\"4629\" height=\"3684\" alt=\"Princess Anne\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Princess Anne visited the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>PA<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRINCE HARRY JETS ACROSS OCEAN TO PREACH SUSTAINABILITY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This week, Prince Harry made a surprise trip to China to warn about climate change and championed sustainable tourism, clashing with his father&#8217;s visit to Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The Duke of Sussex travelled to Shanghai in his role as founder of sustainable travel firm Travalyst to speak at a tourism conference.<\/p>\n<p>In his first visit to the country, he urged businesses in the region to focus on looking after the planet, conceding that meaningful change is never easy.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Harry&#8217;s visit to China has been met with criticism; he flew thousands of miles across an ocean to attend the conference, when internet video calling is now readily available.<\/p>\n<p>According to the International Council on Clean Transportation, roughly 2.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide per passenger is released from a commercial plane flying from Los Angeles to Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p>This is based on the global CO2 average emissions per passenger-kilometre for commercial aviation in economy class; it is unknown which cabin Prince Harry travelled in, but a more premium cabin means more CO2 is released per passenger (this is because of the extra floor space per seat.)<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Prince Harry was advised that his physical presence at the tourism conference would offset his own carbon footprint by encouraging more environmentally friendly travel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GB News&#8217;
