US EditionKing Charles to follow in mother’s footsteps in delivering throne speech
- King Charles will officially begin the upcoming session of Parliament in Ottawa on Tuesday, taking his place on a throne crafted with English walnut sourced from Windsor Great Park, a royal estate once belonging to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth.
- This event recalls Queen Elizabeth II's historic 1957 visit to Ottawa, when she first opened the 23rd Parliament and delivered a speech from the throne, an unusual role usually held by the Governor General.
- During their visit, the Queen and Prince Philip made their way through Ottawa in an open carriage adorned with gold accents and drawn by a team of four black horses, welcomed by crowds of thousands and accompanied by the roar of ceremonial field guns.
- On October 18, 1977, the Queen delivered a throne speech summarizing the federal government's goals, wearing half-moon eyeglasses publicly for the first time while recalling Elizabeth I's warm address to her last Parliament.
- King Charles's upcoming throne speech follows the Queen's legacy amid a new era for Canada, emphasizing urgent economic adjustments and linguistic harmony, while reaffirming devotion to the nation and its people.
