King Charles III and Queen Camilla touched down in Canada on May 26 for a two-day official visit, greeted with fanfare and warm welcomes from Canadian leaders and citizens. A ceremonial airport reception featured red carpets, flower offerings, and friendly exchanges with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Despite the pomp, Queen Camilla’s appearance stirred debate online. Critics mocked her outfit and posture, calling her look “frumpy” or “tent-like.” Others voiced frustration over royal expenses during a time of economic pressure. One user wrote, “What a waste of taxpayer dollars… do something about inflation!”
However, not all reactions were negative. Some praised her dress as “classy” and “beautiful,” while others welcomed the royals with kind words: “Lovely day for Canada.”
The couple engaged in several public events—planting a ceremonial tree at Rideau Hall, meeting centenarians, and interacting with students and vendors at Lansdowne Park. King Charles even dropped the puck at a charity hockey match.
The royal tour concluded with a wreath-laying ceremony at the National War Memorial, capping a visit that blended tradition, public service, and social media chatter.
