King Charles Is Rooting for Canada. You Just Didn’t Notice.
The Wall Street Journal ^ | March 21, 2025 | Max Colchester and Paul Vieira

The King of Canada wants President Trump to back off. Just don’t expect him to actually say that publicly.

Britain’s King Charles III, who is also Canada’s head of state, is wrestling with an unprecedented diplomatic headache. The monarch wants to stand up for the largest country in his realm as Trump talks about turning it into the 51st U.S. state. At the same time he has to honor the British government’s desire that he keep Trump, who deeply admires the royal family, sweet.

The result has been a master class in passive-aggressive pageantry from Buckingham Palace.

Earlier this month, King Charles’s daughter-in-law Princess Catherine appeared at church wearing a red outfit with white pearls, which, of course, represent the colors of the Canadian flag. During that service Charles sat on a chair made of Canadian birch with maple leaves engraved on its legs. The king then released an Apple music playlist that includes a track from Michael Bublé, a British Columbia native, and planted a Maple tree, a symbol of Canada, in Buckingham Palace’s gardens.

On Monday, the king, wearing a red tie, hosted the new Ca nadian Prime Minster Mark Carney. “Much to catch up,” he said as he welcomed Carney into a drawing room in Buckingham Palace for a private audience.

Chuck is Deep State.

He’ll root for whomever his Deep State tells him to root for.

The royal family costs the U.K. over 100 mil a year. What a waste for a bunch of pompous elitists.

There’s a difference, isn’t there.

England/GB/the UK hasn’t had a monarch worthy of the title in centuries.

🇬🇧🪦 Britain is collapsing.
Not by accident. Not by mismanagement.
This is a controlled demolition of a once-great nation.
Mass migration. Economic ruin. Cultural decay.
Here’s how they did it—and why every Western nation is next. 🧵👇 1/17

They want Canada as a vassal nation to the globalist order.

The Brits and the King have a big decision to make.

Do they rejoin Europe or do they join America.

Canada may make the decision for them by deciding the economic future will be better with strong business ties to the USA. The alternative is effectively becoming part of the European economic coalition including all the resultant regulatory garbage.

Ultranationalist Canadians pretend that CN standards are their own. they are actually American standards with a few superficial additions. If they go with the Euros, the shoving of standards down their throats will be unbearably complicated.

Canada is actually weak. It must go USA or Europe.

Who the heck cares what this old fool thinks? He has been busy stuffing dates for muzzurds so they won’t take over his palaces and money after they finish up conquering the UK.

Yep. King Charles is much like Taylor Swift. Both are nothing more than entertainers - just in different categories. Yes, they have their adoring fans. But it doesn’t really matter what either of them think.

Side point: I know the British monarch has “reserve powers”. But the chances of the monarch using them is zero as the UK is overrun by Muslim invaders.

Just my opinion.....but the best British Head of State was Oliver Cromwell.......they had a great chance way back in the 1600s but sadly didn’t have the true heart and commitment and so drastically blew it.

That was an odd situation. Cromwell’s supporters fought to get rid of an hereditary monarchy. Then after Cromwell died, they made his weak son the Lord Protector. Another hereditary monarchy! (Which didn’t last long.)

The less I hear about King Charles, the better. His team is leaking this BS to tryi to make him look like a statesman. But he’ll always just be the spoiled, immature philanderer who will always be rememberd for the tit-for-tat tabloid war he had with Diana and wanting to be Camilla’s tampon.

The “figurehead” might oughta stay in his lane. I would love for the “figurehead” to get on the wrong side of POTUS Trump.
