King Charles to Follow in Mother’s Footsteps in Delivering Throne Speech

On Tuesday in Ottawa, King Charles will officially commence a new parliamentary session while seated on a throne featuring English walnut sourced from Windsor Great Park, a royal estate once belonging to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth.
This event continues the tradition established by Queen Elizabeth II, who was the first monarch to address the Canadian Parliament directly during her 1957 visit when she opened the 23rd Parliament session.
The Queen traveled through Ottawa to Parliament in a distinctive open carriage decorated with gold accents and drawn by a team of four black horses, where she was welcomed by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and crowds of thousands gathered along the streets.
During her speech, the Queen quoted in French, emphasizing Canada's need to adjust to economic realities and promote linguistic harmony, while dedicating herself anew to serving the nation.
King Charles's forthcoming throne speech suggests continuity in royal tradition at a moment when Canada is entering a new era requiring renewed national unity and adaptation.
