Royal Family News – King Charles III and Queen Camilla Go to Canada

In May King Charles and Queen Camilla travel to Canada. The country is part of the British Commonwealth, a group of 56 countries tied historically to the United Kingdom.

According to the Mirror, the dates have not been announced, but the trip remains on the schedule following Charles’ operation.

The royal couple are expected to tour the country for a week, and it comes one year after his visit in conjunction with his May 2023 coronation.

When Prince William and Princess Catherine visited in 2011, some citizens protested the monarchy.

Which is why royal experts believe that Charles needs to spend significant time there: “The last thing they would need would be just a quick appearance in Ontario, maybe B.C.” said royal expert Justin Vovk told CBC News. He added “If he really is King of Canada, a cross-country tour would really be in his best interests.”

The event begins at Buckingham Palace and anyone who is anyone (sorry not you Harry and Meghan) gets to watch from high atop the balcony.
