King Charles III named Canada’s head of state

Ottawa, King Charles III has been officially announced as Canada’s monarch Saturday in a ceremony in Ottawa, reports AP.

Charles automatically became king when Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday. But like the ceremony in the United Kingdom hours earlier, the accession ceremony Saturday in Canada is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.

Charles is now the head of state in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
