The King has had a busy diplomatic period, as both the UK and Canada are managing changes by the US government in multiple areas.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is leading his country amidst an on-going trade war with the US.

 

Although he cannot make explicit statements, King Charles quietly wore his support for Canada this week. 

King Charles visited HMS Prince of Wales, a British aircraft carrier. While there, His Majesty was wearing his Canadian military honours, including the Canadian Military Order of Merit and the Order of Canada. It is a quiet but strong show of support for his Canadian realm.

What are King Charles III favorite songs? A new Apple radio show gives answers

LONDON (AP) — It’s a playlist fit for a king — literally.

A new program of music features tracks by artists including Bob Marley, Grace Jones, Kylie Minogue and Raye, all chosen by King Charles III.

“The King’s Music Room” on Apple Music Radio features Charles talking about songs from around the 56-nation Commonwealth that have formed the soundtrack of his life, from 1930s standards to disco, reggae and Afrobeats.

Recorded in the king’s office at Buckingham Palace, it’s being released as “an interesting and innovative way” to celebrate Commonwealth Day, Charles said.

The Commonwealth is made up of countries on five continents, most of them former British colonies, ranging from populous India and vast Canada to tiny Tuvalu.
