King Charles ‘warning shot' to Trump won't go unnoticed: Expert

King Charles speech at the Canadian Parliament is ceremonial for a lot of reasons.

His Majesty, who reminded Canada to be strong as he delivered a brave speech at Ottawa, would have caught the attention of Donald Trump and his 51st state agenda.

Body language expert Judi James told the Mirror : "It might have been the whistlestop tour to end all whistlestop tours, but the fact that it lasted barely 48 hours may well have made its impact even greater. For the King to fly across the Atlantic, essentially to deliver one short speech to Parliament, demonstrated a powerful commitment to Canada – and its fight against President Trump.

She adds: "It was soft power at its most potent and it wasn’t lost on the Canadian public and press who called it 'a masterclass'. It was also hailed as an 'expression of love' for Canada and a warning shot to Mr Trump. Without mentioning the American president, King Charles responded to Mr Trump‘s threat of annexation by declaring the country of which he is very much the head of state to be 'strong and free'.

"The speech is, of course, largely written by the Canadian government, but to have the King there in person delivering these words of defiance carried a great deal of regal clout, which will not have gone unnoticed in Washington.

"I think the King will be quite chuffed by the enthusiastic response to his visit— and he probably had quite a giggle over a cartoon joking that Donald Trump had now imposed a 1000 per cent biscuit tariff on Duchy Originals from Charles’s estate at Highgrove,” notes the expert.
