King Charles III's first months on the throne have shown he's a monarch who will take an active role in different causes and is ready to engage with the public, royal experts say, but he still has work to do to win over a skeptical Canadian public.
Nathan Tidridge, the author of a book about Canada's constitutional monarchy and vice-president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada, says Charles thus far appears to be a more "active and engaged" ruler than his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
She said this effort is also evident on the royal social media accounts, where staff have responded to public questions about the coronation and published a behind-the-scenes video of Charles and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, reviewing notes on a train during a recent official visit to Germany.These efforts extend to the coronation, which is expected to be a less lavish affair than the 1953 event for his mother.
Just 13 per cent of those surveyed said they felt a personal attachment to the monarchy, and more than half said it's the right time for the country to reconsider its ties with the institution. Tidridge notes the King's ability to connect with the Canadian public depends on the federal government. And both Tidridge and Harris believe Ottawa has not made coronation celebrations a priority. With the coronation less than two weeks away, the federal government had yet to announce the makeup of its delegation or plans for a celebration on Canadian soil, and there has been little buzz around the event.
