King Charles III and Queen Camilla have arrived in Canada for a two-day visit, seen as bringing a message of support for the country in the face of threats and taunts from US President Donald Trump.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who recently won a general election on a wave of anti-Trump sentiment, invited the royal couple and will hold a meeting with them during their stay in Ottawa.
The King will read the speech from the throne to Canada's Parliament on Tuesday, the first time a monarch has delivered in almost 50 years.
It is expected to include a defence of Canada's sovereignty and to reject claims it should be taken over by the United States.
