The tour is part of the year-long celebrations held in honour of the Queen’s platinum jubilee. While Queen Elizabeth, 95, has scaled back and cancelled many public appearances during the COVID-19 pandemic — and herself has fallen ill with the virus, leaving her exhausted — her descendants have been travelling abroad for the celebrations. Her husband, Prince Philip, died in April 2021.
In May, they’ll be back for another whirlwind tour, stopping in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories and the Ottawa area. While Charles is a familiar figure with Canadians, Harris said, the monarchy has become synonymous with Queen Elizabeth II. Amanda Matta is a royal watcher for the next generation. From Pennsylvania, Matta shares news and analysis to more than 600,000 followers on TikTok, a social media platform.
Royal watchers have described, in recent years, a gradual handing over of official duties from Queen Elizabeth II to Charles and Camilla and William and Kate. In addition, because of the Queen’s increasing absence, media attention has focused on the other couples. On Thursday, Charles will step in, fulfilling the royal duties at the Maundy Day church service at St George’s Chapel.
What will be key to watch, says Treble, is the extent to which Crown-Indigenous relations play a role in the visit to Canada; the legacy of the British Empire during the slavery era has played a significant role in the royals’ relationship with the Caribbean, for example.
