King Charles & Trump’s Relationship Takes Dramatic Turn as the Monarch Will Defend His Position ‘By Every Means Possible’

King Charles is set to deliver a speech to open Canada’s Parliament, and some Canadians are urging the Monarch to take a stance in their own sovereignty amid President Donald Trump‘s desires to make Canada the 51st state.

The visit comes as an invitation from new Prime Minister Mark Carney. It’s rare for a Monarch to open Parliament in the country. Queen Elizabeth has only done it twice in her reign, with the last visit dating back to 1977. Charles visited the country 19 times when he was Prince. Canada is a sovereign state and the Monarch serves as head of state.

“It’s a very important opportunity for His Majesty to be in a forum where he will have the opportunity to speak to Canadians at a time when that message about the significance and the strength of Canadian sovereignty needs to be reinforced by every means possible,” Canadian high commissioner in the UK Ralph Goodale said. “The prime minister has made it clear that Canada is not for sale now, is not for sale ever. The King, as head of state, will reinforce the power and the strength of that message.”

However, the act might not be as direct as some people hope. “King Charles is unlikely to comment directly on the 51st state issue. Yet, his introductory remarks could feature broad statements about Canada’s integrity and sovereignty. At least this is what many Canadians would like him to do,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal told the Independent.

Recently, Prince Charles wrote a letter to President Trump with the intent of another state dinner. After it was shared by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump shared the contents of the letter: “Quite apart from this presenting an opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues of mutual interest, it would also offer a valuable chance to plan a historic second state visit to the United Kingdom. As you will know, this is unprecedented by a US president. That is why I would find it helpful for us to be able to discuss, together, a range of options for location and programme content.”

Trump previously expressed a desire to go to the UK for his second state visit. “They’re going to do a second, as you know, a second fest,” Trump said, adding, “That’s what it is: a fest, and it’s beautiful, and it’s the first time it’s ever happened to one person.”

“And the reason is we have two separate terms, and it’s an honor,” he said. Trump continued, “I’m a friend of Charles. I have great respect for King Charles and the family, William. We have really just a great respect for the family. And I think they’re setting a date for September.”
