''But amid his praise for Italy, there was a noteworthy moment when Charles drew attention to another country and his connection to it.
"Tomorrow in Ravenna, as King of the United Kingdom and of Canada, I will have the great honour of commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of that province ... in which British and Canadian forces played a key role," he said.''
''His reference during that speech to his role as "King of Canada" was "highly unusual" and a "very powerful signal for the King to be sending to Canada and Canadians that he takes his role very seriously," said Vovk, who is on the advisory board of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada.''

Love that he’s taking a public stand in support of Canada.
King Charles writes his most personal reflections yet on his cancer diagnosis. He speaks of the “darkest moments of illness” which can be “illuminated by the greatest compassion.”He is hosting a reception this evening for those who, like him, have cancer and those who work to combat the disease.

King Charles opens up about cancer diagnosis and treatment
The British monarch, who was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024, has kept the details of his disease private.
www.nbcnews.com
Speaking at a Buckingham Palace celebration of community-based initiatives raising cancer awareness and supporting those living with the disease, Charles said that "each diagnosis, each new case, will be a daunting and at times frightening experience for those individuals and their loved ones."
"It has certainly given me an even deeper appreciation of the extraordinary work undertaken by the remarkable organisations and individuals gathered here this evening, many of whom I have known, visited and supported over the years," he said. "And it has reinforced what I have long observed during these visits — that the darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion."...
Canada has extended an invitation to King Charles III to open Parliament in the coming weeks, multiple sources tell Global News.
If accepted, it would be the first time that a sovereign has opened Parliament since Queen Elizabeth II last did so in 1957.
Sources tell Global News he is likely to attend, but Buckingham Palace has not officially accepted and, due to protocol, confirmation would need to be provided by the Palace.
When a sovereign opens Parliament, they are the one who delivers the Speech from the Throne that outlines what the government plans for its mandate and immediate priorities.
