The King's visit to Canada was significant, despite the fact that it was his 20th tour of the nation, because it was the first since Charles' succession.

Charles delivered a historic address to the Canadian Parliament, which was inaugurated by a monarch for the first time in 68 years. The timing was also critical, as the queen addressed continuing diplomatic difficulties, particularly with Canada, following heated statements by US President Trump.

In his speech, the King said, "As the anthem reminds us: The True North is indeed strong and free!"
