Most recently, King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, travelled to Canada in May 2022 as part of the celebrations of the Queen's platinum jubilee, when they were still Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. The three-day tour was focused on climate change, literacy and reconciliation efforts with Indigenous Peoples.
And, while King Charles made a clear effort to engage with Indigenous people -- and is believed to have made a point of ensuring they were invited to his coronation -- his speeches in Canada stopped short of issuing the apology some Indigenous leaders had called for. They have also touched on more serious subjects. Over the years, his visits to Canada often included events and conversations centred on climate change -- a subject on which he has become increasingly outspoken.
