“”in Ravenna, as King of the UK and of Canada, I will have the great honour of commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of that province ... in which British and Canadian forces played a key role," he said.”

“a monarch making such a reference in an international, non-Commonwealth setting to his role as "King of Canada" is rare and has few if any parallels in recent royal times.”

According to The Sun, #KingCharles will propose Washington’s partial membership in the #Commonwealth during President Trump’s upcoming visit to the palace, in an effort to ease tensions between the White House and #Canada amid their trade war and diplomatic drift

POLITICO · Trump: ‘I love King Charles’By Csongor Körömi

🇨🇦 Shout out to the Canadians who have been emailling the Royal Watch newsletter at the BBC about King Charles! 🇨🇦

"But there is no avoiding the tensions and contradictions in this balancing act. Emails from Canadians to the BBC's Royal Watch newsletter show that many want a much more robust defence from the King.

"What a cop out! Throw Canada to the wolves. Giving us back pats for our flag's anniversary doesn't quite cut it. Here sits a monarchist who is seriously rethinking his allegiance to the crown!" emailed Brian, a Canadian military veteran.

Carol in Vancouver was unhappy at the invitation from the UK for a second state visit by President Trump.
"I feel ashamed for the Brits feeling they have to follow through with inviting such a boor for dinner. For the life of me I do not understand why he has this power over you," she wrote.

"As a Canadian, the invitation is a slap in the face to the people of Canada. If the King is our King (as we are a Commonwealth country), and Trump is basically at war with us, how dare King Charles give him any credence?" emailed Patricia.

"As a Canadian I am saddened, appalled, disgusted and angry that King Charles appears to be joining the conga line of supplicants," said Jo-Ann in Ontario.

But King Charles will have to keep to the line set by ministers, and if that means maintaining good relations with Trump, he is unlikely to be saying anything more outspoken.”

#Canada to the #UK: thanks for nothing. Thanks for the wimpiest possible response, after 250 years' association and Commonwealth membership, to Trump's annexation threat. UK: "Don't worry - we're behind you 85%".
Lammy: "This is a moment for unity". Ok - unity with whom? The US? Let Canada tell you about 'unity' with the US. At least #KingCharles gave us a sword. So we've got that going for us.
