The king again showed his affection for Canada after receiving two senior figures from the parliament of the country yesterday.
After his meeting last week with the departing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Monarch – who is also the head of Canada – welcomed the 'Canadian Usher of the Black Rod', Greg Peters and the speaker of the Canadian Senate, Raymonde Gagne, in Buckingham Palace.
Apparently the meeting was to give a new ceremonial sword to the Usher, commissioned by the Senate in honor of his Majesty to mark his accession to the throne.
Although it was a long -term involvement, it was also considered an opportunity for King Charles to re -confirm his support and love for Canada and his people.
It is understood that there was a 'warm exchange of greetings' – in both French and English of the king – and that he “shared his in -depth personal thanks for such a well thought out gesture.”
It was followed by half an hour of discussions about 'topics of great care for all parties, both nationally and internationally'.
Buckingham Palace refused to comment on all the details of what was discussed because it was a 'private audience'.

As a constitutional monarch, the king cannot comment on the current tensions between Canada and the US, but sources have made it clear in recent days that he can show his support by 'deed if not word'.
The US president has repeatedly driven the idea of ​​turning Canada into the 51st US state and has made various statements about the sovereignty and trading rates of the country.
On Tuesday he threatened to double his planned rates on steel and aluminum for Canada, but later stopped the plan.
The incoming Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has sworn retaliation rates to keep until the US is committed to free trade.
In the meantime, the Prime Minister of Alberta, Danielle Smith, told the Telegraph de Koning last week, as head of state, the duty to confront Trump.
She said: 'We sing' God Save the King 'every week when we are in the legislative power.

“I swear an oath to the king, our cabinet secrecy is confirmed by our oath to the king and we have him on our banknotes.
'So I think he should have something to say about [Trump’s campaign to absorb Canada]Because, I think, it is a direct confrontation for British sovereignty. '
It is because his majesty is also charged with a private visit to Scotland by the government of Woo-in President Trump this summer and an upcoming historical state visit.
