Pakistan, June 3 -- King Charles appeared visibly emotional during his recent trip to Canada, a rare sight for a royal, as the monarch delivered a heartfelt speech defending Canada's sovereignty and unity. His visit followed rising concerns over threats to Canadian independence, allegedly sparked by remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump.

The 76-year-old King visited Canada for the 20th time, but this was his first as monarch. He was invited by Prime Minister Mark Carney and addressed the Canadian Parliament - the first royal speech of its kind in nearly 50 years. During his remarks, Charles praised Canada as "the True North, strong and free," and his voice broke slightly during the final lines, drawing a long standing ovation.
