A few hours later, Canada took the same ceremonial and constitutional milestone, fundamental in introducing the new monarch to the country, as reported by international agencies.

Charles III thus becomes head of state of Canada, one of the member countries of the Commonwealth, an organization made up essentially of former British colonies.

Although Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, international agencies point to “the affection many had for the late Queen Elizabeth II”, whose figure circulates on this country’s coins.

Canada has a population of 37 million, made up of English speakers, French speakers, Indian tribes and a steady stream of new immigrants.

Queen Elizabeth II has died aged 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, after more than 70 years of the longest reign in UK history.
