King Charles and Queen Camilla are scheduled to make a historic visit to Canada on May 26, 2025, marking the first time a reigning monarch will attend the State Opening of the Parliament of Canada since Queen Elizabeth in 1977. The royal couple will return to the UK the following day. This visit comes amid diplomatic tensions between Canada and the United States, particularly involving former U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. As head of state, King Charles has reportedly expressed concern over these developments. In related royal engagements, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William recently hosted military veterans at Windsor in honor of the upcoming 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day on May 8. Celebrations will feature a military procession, an RAF flypast, a tea party with veterans at Buckingham Palace, a public party at Horse Guards Parade hosted by DJ Zoe Ball, and extended pub hours. A commemorative installation of over 20,000 ceramic poppies, including a formation mimicking a Lancaster bomber, is now displayed at Lincoln’s International Bomber Command Centre. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy emphasized the occasion’s importance for honoring veterans and preserving the legacy of peace.
