The red of Kate Middleton, the sword and the maple tree that King Carlo planted at Buckingham Palace: do the British real support Canada against Trump?

The British real, as is known, cannot express themselves on the politics of their country and let alone on that of others. But if they want they can launch messages, suggestionsthat the most attentive (or mischievous) audience manages to grasp. So in these days many observers seemed to grasp controversy of some royals towards American president Donald Trump intent on challenging Canada with salty commercial duties and maybe, who knows, to annex it as a fifty -each state of the USA.

According to some experts, King Carlo He took a clear position against the Trumpian aggression by presenting himself on the “HMS Prince of Wales” aircraft carrier wearing Canadian military honors. It should be remembered that King Carlo is also sovereign of Canada, as well as Great Britain. Carolyn Harris, royal commentator and history professor at the School of Continuing Studies of the University of Toronto, commented on Toronto Star: “It is rather significant to see King Charles III wear these decorations in a British context immediately after meeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau”. He then suggested that he was “finding thin ways to demonstrate its support for Canadian sovereignty. I believe there could be others of these thin gestures of support in the future ». It is true, however, that even before Trump’s threats, Carlo had expressed his closeness to Canada. In February, for example, he had written on social media: “Today my wife and I join the Canadians throughout Canada and in the world to commemorate an important milestone: the 60th anniversary of the Canadian flag” adding that the maple leaf “never fails to arouse a sense of pride and admiration”.

But the gestures that arrive now have a different flavor. For example, a few days ago King Carlo welcomed high Canadian parliamentary officials in Buckingham Palace delivering them one ceremonial sword Commissioned to celebrate his rise to the throne. And, even more symbolically, in the following days It planted a red maple in Buckingham Palace. Officially the plant was chosen to celebrate the success of a global network of Commonwealth forests created in homage to her deceased mother. But the moment when the planting arrives is very significant.

Finally at the Commonwealth Day at the Abbey of Westminster, on March 10, King and Queen Camilla They sat on two thrones built in Canada and donated to Giorgio VIwith decorations in the shape of maple leaves, while the kneels in front of them had engraved Canadian coat of arms.

Just on the same occasion, many have focused their attention on Kate: The Princess of Wales would have expressed her support for Canada wearing a red dress. It is a tone of red identical to that of the maple leaf on the Canadian flag. So during the Sun Royal Exclusive Show The expert of British Real, Sarah Hewson, observed that it could actually be a signal of political support, on the inspiration of the deceased Elizabeth who, welcoming the Canadian premier Justin Trudeau to Windsor after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, had decorated the meeting room with yellow and blue flowers. “So maybe these clothes do not happen by chance”concluded the expert. In support of the thesis, the royal photographer of the SunArthur Edwards: “She was in Canada and she liked it very much.”
