King Charles sending Prince Edward to Canada as show of support

Britain's Prince Edward is scheduled to visit Canadian province Prince Edward Island later this month, according to the local media.

The reports of his upcoming visit days after Edward's eldest brother, King Charles, opened Parliament and delivered a speech during his visit to the country.

Citing The Royal Diary, CTV News reported that the Duke of Edinburgh will make three stops in Canada.

The youngest brother of the British monarch is set to visit Prince Edward Island in his capacity as colonel-in-chief of the Prince Edward Island Regiment, and will attend its 150th anniversary celebrations on June 25.

Without sharing any details, the report said that  the British royal is also scheduled to go to Toronto on June 28.

The youngest child of the late  Queen Elizabeth II is also due to visit Ottawa where he will attend Canada Day celebrations.

King Charles and Queen Camilla visited Canada amid growing concerns due to US President Donald's Trump's statements that he desires to make the country a state of the United States.

Speaking during a brief symbolic visit to show support for Canada, Charles expressed his love for the country, which he described as "strong and free."

In a speech in the Senate, Charles referred to "the country that Canadians and I love so much" but did not mention Trump.
