King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to visit Canada this month.
The two will attend the State Opening of the Parliament of Canada in Ottawa, visiting the country May 26 and 27, according to a post from the Royal Family on social media Friday (May 2).
During his first post-election news conference Friday (May 2), Prime Minister Mark Carney said King Charles will deliver Canada’s speech from the throne on May 27.
"This will be the first time in nearly 50 years that Canada’s Monarch takes part in the State Opening of Parliament. This historic honour matches the weight of our times," Carney said.
The prime minister added that Canada has "a steadfast defender in our sovereign."
More to come.
