Charles of England became automatically became king when Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday, but was only officially proclaimed this Saturday in a ceremony in London.

A few hours later, Canada is taking the same ceremonial and constitutional steps, basic introduction the country’s new king, as reported by international agencies.

Charles III thus became the head of state of Canada, one of the member states of the Commonwealth of Nations, an organization basically created by former British colonies.

Although Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, international institutions are highlighting it “the affection many people have for the late Queen Elizabeth II”whose silhouette circulated on the country’s coins.

International analysis anticipates that Carlos should remain Canada’s head of state, not least because abolishing the monarchy would mean changing the Constitution.

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

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born on April 21, 1926, in London, and became Queen of England in 1952, aged 25, following the death of her father, George VI, who reigned when her older brother abdicated.

After the death of the king, his eldest son, aged 73, assumed the functions of king as Charles III.
