On Tuesday, King Charles III will deliver the Speech from the Throne from the Senate Chamber of the Parliament of Canada. He will then abide by a tradition going back to the 17th century that forbids kings, queens and governors general to enter the House of Commons in Westminster democracies. Learn more with CPAC’s Andrew Thomson.
