Britain’s King Charles III arrived in Canada on Monday for his first visit as its head of state, where he’ll carry out a highly-symbolic whistle-stop trip seen by many as a show of support following increasingly frayed relations between Ottawa and Washington.

King Charles delivered a speech to Canada's Parliament amid tensions between Canada and the United States, and experts say he could "give a master class in diplomatic relations."

The British monarch, who is Canada’s official head of state, is coming at a moment when President Trump has threatened the country’s sovereignty.
