The King and Queen were welcomed to Canada by its Prime Minister, as they began a trip widely seen as a show of support for the country which has found itself in conflict with US President Donald Trump.
Charles and Camilla shook hands with Mark Carney, who has been engaged in a war of words with the US leader and has described the role the King will play at the state opening of the Canadian Parliament as a “historic honour” that “matches the weight of our times”.
