No word on which Canadians will attend crowning of King Charles in London

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 May, 2023 01:26 PM
  • No word on which Canadians will attend crowning of King Charles in London

The Prime Minister's Office still has yet to announce which eminent Canadians will be invited to join him for the coronation of King Charles in just three days.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Governor General Mary Simon will be at Westminster Abbey this weekend as the King is officially crowned, but the rest of the official Canadian delegation largely remains a mystery.

Simon's itinerary for the trip includes an audience with the King on Thursday at Buckingham Palace, where they will be joined by the leaders of the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the Métis National Council.

The King was officially proclaimed Canada’s monarch in a ceremony in September in Ottawa attended by Trudeau and Governor General Mary Simon.

The prime minister and governor general also attended Queen Elizabeth II's funeral last year with two former governors general and four former prime ministers. 

The funeral delegation also included Indigenous leaders, Canada's high commissioner to the United Kingdom, Cross of Valour recipient Leslie Arthur Palmer and members of the Order of Canada Sandra Oh, Gregory Charles and Mark Tewksbury.
