In an apparent attempt to show support for Canada amid threats and taunts from US President Donald Trump, King Charles and Queen Camilla have arrived in Ottawa to begin a two-day visit. The royal couple was received on the runway of Canada’s capital by Prime Minister Mark Carney, who just won a general election on a wave of anti-Trump populism.<\/p>\n
The King and Queen were welcomed with a ceremonial guard and a community gathering in the beautiful afternoon sunshine, in front of a forest of Canadian flags. A band played tea dance music as throngs of youngsters gathered to see the King and Queen, accompanied by red-jacketed Royal Canadian Mounted Police.<\/p>\n
The greeting reception included members of Canada’s First Nations communities, including a drumming Algonquin group. The King and Queen, who are in Canada for the first time since the beginning of their reign, will attend a community festival prior to their official meeting with Prime Minister Carney.<\/p>\n
The visit’s primary goal is the King’s “Speech from the Throne” to Canada’s Parliament on Tuesday, the first such address a monarch has given in almost 50 years. It is anticipated to defend Canada’s sovereignty and reject\u00a0arguments that the US should take control.<\/p>\n
