King Charles III has made a timely and powerful statement, appearing to remind his son, Prince Harry, that he remains the head of state of Canada. The move comes as Harry hosts the Invictus Games in Vancouver, coinciding with a controversial suggestion from former US President Donald Trump that Canada should become America’s “51st state.”
Buckingham Palace released the King’s personal message as Canada celebrated the 60th anniversary of its national flag. While his words were focused on praising the country, many believe they also served as a subtle reminder of his authority—not just to Harry, but also in response to Trump’s bold remarks.
