Buckingham Palace said the throne speech was the king's “emotional moment”.

Some observers believe King Charles looked excited at times during his trip to Canada last week – a Buckingham Palace spokesman confirmed to CBC News that the usually stoic monarch found that communicating a speech to the throne was a particularly incredible moment.

The palace spokesman said: “Under je, he was deeply moved and moved by his enthusiastic response to his visit.”

“In the speech, especially the host’s applause is an unexpected emotional moment.

Charles's line of “strong and free” about Canada's “really” is “truth” in the north is particularly popular in the Senate. There was no protest, like an Aboriginal Australian senator yelled at the king when he visited the field last year.

King Charles said in his speech to the throne: “The true North is indeed strong and free.”

King Charles received a long applause in the Senate when he quoted the Canadian anthem in the Senate, saying that the song reminds us: “The real North is indeed strong and free.”

His voice then shook, his eyes seemed to lift well, and he said his last words to the gathered MP: “May you respect the deep trust that Canadians have given you and may God bless and guide you in all your duties.”

Charles seemed to be tearing outside the Senate building as thousands watched him reach Royal Landau o Canada. After the speech, he greeted many onlookers happily, without obvious signs of protest.

“This is the warmest welcome and a favorite of the country we love and the people we love,” Charles and Queen Camilla herself said in a joint statement after leaving Ottawa.

British media noted that Charles showed unusual emotions during this trip – his 20th official visit to Canada and his first monarch.

Chris Ship, a royal correspondent for ITV, wrote in his speech: “Royals don't usually 'do' emotions, at least they will try to hide any of their feelings. But for some reason, King Charles seems unable to visit this time at the end of a short but very important visit.”

“There are more emotions than the royal family expected,” McMaster University's royal historian Justin Vovk said in an interview with CBC News.

“I think Charles was a little surprised. The king has been eager to get here and to feel his presence in Canada, but no one really knows what kind of reaction he will receive.”

“Reporters, scholars, royalists, we're all watching and wondering: Will there be a warm turnout? Will there be protests? I think once Charles saw the level of reaction of the people, it shocked him; it seemed he didn't expect it.”

Vvvk said the sentiment could also be driven by the high risk this visit has for him and the country.

In the face of US ridicule and insult, Prime Minister Mark Carney urged Charney to serve, demanding that the head of state claim Canada's sovereignty in the first speech to the throne delivered by the monarch in nearly 50 years.

It is a diplomatic balance bill because Charles, as the monarch of 15 fields, had to perform the duties of the Canadian king without getting involved in Anglo-American relations, given that the Oval Office sometimes has a Mummer president in the Oval Office and the UK is facing a trade threat.

“Open parliament, reading the speeches of the throne, are the most important constitutional roles sovereignty plays in our political system,” Wolfk said.

“He understood its weight politically, personally and dynasty,” he said.

“Canada has a deep meaning to him and a deep meaning to his family,” Vovk told Charles.

The king's favorite relative, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, took dozens of trips to Canada, and wrote and enthusiastically spoke about their experiences. Vvvk said these emotions seemed to have disappeared in him.

The Queen's mother wrote to Princess Margaret in 1958 and said: “I have a feeling that Canada has brought a push to a person. They are so friendly, so loving, and riding is so beautiful and romantic.”

The Queen Mother recalled her historic tour with King George VI in 1939 – the first time ruling the monarch in North America – the Queen Mother said: “Canada empowers us.”

Queen Elizabeth has witnessed groundbreaking moments in the country’s history, including the constitutional repatriation, which he called Canada “home.”

“Charles was keenly aware that he and his family had a place in Canada at a critical moment. That's one of them,” Vovk said.

He said: “He delivered a very intentional, cited line that deserves a slogan – the real North, strong and free, Canada seeps into his blood and goes straight to the heart. It will be a phrase related to the Canadian monarchy.”

As for Charles' ongoing cancer victory over his emotional reaction, Wolfk said it was hard to say.

“It is impossible to speculate on what is happening behind the scenes with sovereignty,” he said.
