Blending royalty with solemnity, King Charles endorsed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s vow to protect Canadian sovereignty by reinforcing its defence line while redefining the relationship with its neighbour and big brother, the United States.

It was only for the third time since 1957 that the Monarch read out the throne speech at a ceremony marked by gaiety, rich military traditions and rare ceremonies attached to royal visits to the sovereign.

The speech from the throne not only laid out the government’s priorities for the new Parliament, the King also used the occasion to give a personal message to Canadians about his connection to Canada.
