Monarch marks national milestone amid Duke of Sussex’s presence in the country
King Charles III surprised royal watchers by issuing a significant message to the people of Canada while Harry remains in the country for the 2025 Invictus Games.
The royal family's social media accounts shared the King’s official statement in honour of the 60th anniversary of the National Flag of Canada.
"On this day in 1965, Canada’s red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill," the statement read, marking the milestone.
The message followed Harry’s own emotional remarks as he continued his Invictus Games commitments, while Meghan Markle returned to the US earlier.
The Duke of Sussex’s spokesperson provided updates on his activities via Sussex.com, highlighting his engagement with competitors in wheelchair rugby, one of the most intense events in adaptive sports.
