Description

A royal proclamation establishing the monarch’s royal style and titles “for Canada” was issued in Ottawa on this date. The proclamation set out the official form of the King’s titles in Canada in both English and French. It followed Parliament’s consent under the Royal Style and Titles Act, 2023. This was a notable constitutional-symbolic update because it formally defines how the sovereign is titled in Canada.
