ROYALS: King May Issue HANDS OFF Canada WARNING to HAM Who Would Be King-Trump
King Urged to Issue HANDS OFF Canada WARNING to Trump When He Opens Parliament in US Next Month
King Charles under pressure to SCOLD Donald Trump during first speech of a UK monarch in North America for nearly 50 years in deliberately symbolic act
MailOnline 18 MAY 2025
The US President has caused widespread consternation among the United Kingdom and its commonwealth.
In what is being seen a deliberately symbolic act, Charles will open a new session of parliament in North America and deliver the traditional speech from the throne- the first time a monarch has done so in nearly 50 years.
King Charles is being strongly urged to issue a subtle hands off Canada warning to Donald Trump when he makes an historic speech later this month.
The US President has caused widespread consternation by repeatedly calling for Canada to become Americas 51st state.
In what is being seen as a deliberately symbolic act, Charles will open a new session of parliament in Ottawa on 27 May and deliver the traditional speech from the throne the first time a monarch has done so in nearly 50 years.
While the royal visit signals strong support in itself, many believe that as Canadas head of state, Charles should go further and remind Mr Trump that the country is off limits.
The speech, which introduces the Canadian governments agenda, will be written for Charles who is bound by the Royal Familys political neutrality.
Despite such constraints, there is a growing feeling that were he to add even a solitary strategically judged phrase of his own it would speak volumes.
Artur Wilczynski, a former Canadian ambassador, told The Mail on Sunday: I would like to hear the King read a speech that says Canada is and will continue to be a strong, vibrant and independent nation and that Canada is not for sale at any price.
And Id like him to say that as our sovereign and head of the Commonwealth, I will continue to support and defend the will of the Canadian people to pursue your national aspirations.
Vive le Canada
Elizabeth May, the countrys Green Party leader, said: I understand and respect the limits of what a monarch can say at any time. But in visiting Canada at this time any Canadian would welcome the smallest reference to God Save Canada, that Canada is a valued member of the Commonwealth family of nations.
The King gave a warm welcome to the new Canadian prime minister Mark Carney at Buckingham Palace in March
