For Canada, the monarch is officially titled Queen of Canada (French: Reine du Canada), and she, her consort, and other members of the Canadian Royal Family undertake various public and private functions across the country and on its behalf abroad. However, the Queen is the only member of the Royal Family with any constitutional role. While several powers are the sovereign's alone, because she lives predominantly in the United Kingdom, most of the royal governmental and ceremonial duties in Canada are carried out by the Queen's representative, the governor general. In each of Canada's provinces, the monarch is represented by a lieutenant governor, while the territories are not sovereign and thus do not have a viceroy. Per the Canadian constitution, the responsibilities of the sovereign and/or governor general include summoning and dismissing parliament, calling elections, and appointing governments. Further, Royal Assent and the royal sign-manual are required to enact laws, letters patent, and orders-in-council. But the authority for these acts stems from the Canadian populace and,567 within the conventional stipulations of constitutional monarchy, the sovereign's direct participation in any of these areas of governance is limited, with most related powers entrusted for exercise by the elected and appointed parliamentarians, the ministers of the Crown generally drawn from amongst them, and the judges and justices of the peace.5 The Crown today primarily functions as a guarantor of continuous and stable governance and a nonpartisan safeguard against the abuse of power,589 the sovereign acting as a custodian of the Crown's democratic powers and a representation of the "power of the people above government and political parties."1011 The historical roots of the Canadian monarchy date back to approximately the turn of the 16th century,n 119202122 when European kingdoms made the first claims to what is now Canadian territory. Monarchical governance thenceforth evolved under a continuous succession of French and British sovereigns, and eventually the legally distinct Canadian monarchy,121516182324 which is sometimes colloquially referred to as the Maple Crown.n 21526 Contents 1 International and domestic aspects 1.1 Succession and regency 2 Federal and provincial aspects 3 Personification of the Canadian state 3.1 Head of state 4 Federal constitutional role 4.1 Executive (Queen-in-Council) 4.2 Parliament (Queen-in-Parliament) 4.3 Courts (Queen-on-the-Bench) 5 Cultural role 5.1 Royal presence and duties 5.2 Symbols, associations, and awards 6 Canadian Royal Family 7 Federal residences and royal household 8 History 9 Debate 10 See also 11 Notes 12 Citations 13 References 14 Further information 14.1 Reading 14.2 Viewing 15 External links // International and domestic aspects Further information: Commonwealth realm > Relationship of the realms Canada shares equally the same sovereign with fifteen other monarchies in the fifty-four-member Commonwealth of Nations, a grouping known informally as the Commonwealth realms, with the monarch residing predominantly in the oldest and most populous realm, the United Kingdom, and viceroys acting as the sovereign's representatives in Canada. The emergence of this arrangement paralleled the fruition of Canadian nationalism following the end of the First World War and culminated in the passage of the Statute of Westminster in 1931. Since then, the pan-national Crown has had both a shared and separate character and the sovereign's role as monarch of Canada has been distinct to his or her position as monarch of any other realm,n 327 including the United Kingdom.n 4293031 Only Canadian federal ministers of the Crown may advise the sovereign on all matters of the Canadian state,n 53132333435 of which the sovereign, when not in Canada, is kept abreast by weekly communications with the federal viceroy.36 The monarchy thus ceased to be an exclusively British institution and in Canada became a Canadian,16373839 or "domesticated",40 establishment, though it is still often denoted as "British" in both legal and common language,16 for reasons historical, political, and of convenience. This division is illustrated in a number of ways: The sovereign, for example, holds a unique Canadian title and, when she and other members of the Royal Family are acting in public specifically as representatives of Canada, they will use,41 where possible, Canadian symbols, including the country's national flag, unique royal symbols, armed forces uniforms,42434445 and the like, as well as Canadian Forces jets or other Canadian-owned vehicles for travel. Once in Canadian airspace, or arrived at a Canadian event taking place abroad, the Canadian Secretary to the Queen, officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and other Canadian officials will take over from whichever of their other realms' counterparts were previously escorting the Queen or other member of the Royal Family.46 The sovereign similarly only draws from Canadian coffers for support in the performance of her duties when in Canada or acting as Queen of Canada abroad; Canadians do not pay any money to the Queen or any other member of the Royal Family, either towards personal income or to support royal residences outside of Canada.4748 Normally, tax dollars pay only for the costs associated with the governor general and ten lieutenant governors as instruments of the Queen's authority, including travel, security, residences, offices, ceremonies, and the like.48 In the absence of official reports on the full cost of the monarchy, the Monarchist League of Canada regularly issues a survey based on various federal and provincial budgets, expenditures, and estimates; the 2009 edition found that the institution cost Canadians roughly $50 million in 2008.49 Succession and regency Succession is by male-preference primogeniture governed by both the Act of Settlement, 1701, and Bill of Rights, 1689, legislation that limits the succession to the natural (i.e. non-adopted), legitimate descendants of Sophia, Electress of Hanover and stipulates that the monarch cannot be a Roman Catholic, nor married to one, and must be in communion with the Church of England upon ascending the throne; these particular clauses have prompted legal challenge. Though, via adopting the Statute of Westminster, these constitutional laws as they apply to Canada now lie within the full control of the Canadian parliament,5051 Canada also agreed not to change its rules of succession without the unanimous consent of, and a parallel change of succession in, the other realms, unless explicitly leaving the shared monarchy relationship; a situation that applies symmetrically in all the other realms and has been likened to a treaty amongst these countries.5253 Thus, Canada's line of succession remains identical to that of the United Kingdom. However, there is no provision in Canadian law requiring that the king or queen of Canada must be the same person as the king or queen of the United Kingdom; if the UK were to breach the convention set out in the preamble to the Statute of Westminster and unilaterally change the line of succession to the British throne, the alteration would have no effect on the reigning sovereign of Canada or his or her heirs and successors.5154 As such, the rules for succession are not fixed, but may be changed by a constitutional amendment. Charles, Prince of Wales, is the heir apparent to the Canadian throne Upon a demise of the Crown (the death or abdication of a sovereign), the late sovereign's heir immediately and automatically succeeds, without any need for confirmation or further ceremony — hence arises the phrase "The King is dead. Long live the King!".5556 It is customary, though, for the accession of the new monarch to be publicly proclaimed by the governor general on behalf of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, which meets at Rideau Hall after the accession.n 6 Following an appropriate period of mourning, the monarch is also crowned in the United Kingdom in an ancient ritual, but one not necessary for a sovereign to reign.n 7 By the Interpretation Act of 2005, no incumbent appointee of the Crown is affected by the death of the monarch, nor are they required to take the Oath of Allegiance again,59 and all references in legislation to previous monarchs, whether in the masculine (e.g. His Majesty) or feminine (e.g. the Queen), continue to mean the reigning sovereign of Canada, regardless of his or her gender.59 After an individual ascends the throne, he or she typically continues to reign until death, being unable to unilaterally abdicate per the tenets of constitutional monarchy.n 8 Canada has no laws allowing for a regency, should the sovereign be a minor and/or debilitated;36 none have been passed by the Canadian parliament and it was made clear by successive Cabinets since 1937 that the United Kingdom's Regency Act had no applicability to Canada,36 as the Canadian Cabinet had not requested otherwise when the act was passed that year and again in 1943 and 1953. As the 1947 Letters Patent issued by King George VI permit the Governor General of Canada to exercise almost all of the monarch's powers in respect of Canada, the viceroy is expected to continue to act as the personal representative of the monarch, and not any regent, even if the monarch is a child and/or incapacitated.366061 It is unclear, however, how those duties that are the sole domain of the monarch would be carried out at such a time. Federal and provincial aspects Further information: Monarchy in the Canadian provinces

Conceived by the Fathers of Confederation as a bulwark against any potential fracturing of the Canadian federation,62 the Canadian monarchy is a federal one in which the Crown is unitary throughout all jurisdictions in the country,63 the sovereignty of the different administrations being passed on through the overreaching Crown itself as a part of the executive, legislative, and judicial operations in each of the federal and provincial spheres and the headship of state being a part of all equally.63 However, though the singular Crown links the various governments into a federal state,3 it is also "divided" into eleven legal jurisdictions, or eleven "crowns" — one federal and ten provincial64 — with the monarch taking on a distinct legal persona in each.n 9n 10 As such, the constitution instructs that any change to the position of the monarch or his or her representatives in Canada requires the consent of the Senate, the House of Commons, and the legislative assemblies of all the provinces.68 The monarch is personally represented in each area by a viceroy who carries out the majority of the Queen's duties on her behalf: that in the federal sphere being titled Governor General of Canada and appointed by the Queen on the advice of her federal prime minister, and those in the provincial spheres being called Lieutenant Governor and appointed by the governor general on the advice of the federal prime minister, with input from the relevant provincial premier. The commissioners of Canada's territories are appointed by the federal Governor-in-Council, at the recommendation of the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development; but, as the territories are not sovereign entities, the commissioners are not personal representatives of the sovereign. Personification of the Canadian state Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Sovereign's insignia of the Order of Canada and the Order of Military Merit The Crown is an integral part of a practical form of government, and as such it has a direct and substantive part to play in the lives of all Canadians.69 David E. Smith, The Invisible Crown, 1995 As the living embodiment of the Crown,59 the sovereign is regarded by as the personification of the Canadian state,n 11103475767778 the body of the reigning sovereign thus holding two distinct personas in constant coexistence: that of a natural-born human being and that of the state as accorded to him or her through law; even in private, the monarch is always "on duty".79 The state is therefore referred to as Her Majesty The Queen in Right of Canada (French: Sa Majesté la Reine du chef du Canada),80 or The Crown in Right of Canada, and the monarch's legal personality is sometimes referred to simply as Canada.7781 As such, the king or queen of Canada is the employer of all government staff (including the viceroys, judges, members of the Canadian Forces, police officers, and parliamentarians),n 12 the guardian of foster children (Crown wards), as well as the owner of all state lands (Crown land), buildings and equipment (Crown held property),83 state owned companies (Crown corporations), and the copyright for all government publications (Crown copyright).84 This is all in his or her position as sovereign, and not as an individual; all such property is held by the Crown in perpetuity and cannot be sold by the sovereign without the proper advice and consent of his or her ministers. As the embodiment of the state, the monarch tops the Canadian order of precedence, and is also the locus of oaths of allegiance,n 1371778687 required of many employees of the Crown, as well as by new citizens, as per the Oath of Citizenship laid out in the Citizenship Act. This is done in reciprocation to the sovereign's Coronation Oath,88 wherein he or she promises "to govern the Peoples of... Canada... according to their respective laws and customs."89 Head of state Though it has been argued that the term head of state is a republican one inapplicable in a constitutional monarchy such as Canada, where the monarch is the embodiment of the state and thus cannot be head of it,79 the sovereign is regarded by official government sources,149091 judges,92 constitutional scholars,7793 and pollsters as the head of state,94 while the governor general and lieutenant governors are all only representatives of, and thus equally subordinate to, that figure.95 Some governors general, their staff, government publications,77 and constitutional scholars like Edward McWhinney and C.E.S. Franks have,9697 however, referred to the position of governor general as that of Canada's head of state,9899 though sometimes qualilfying the assertion with de facto or effective;100101102 Franks has hence recommended that the governor general be named officially as the head of state.97 Since 1927, governors general have been received on state visits abroad as though they were heads of state.103 Officials at Rideau Hall have pointed to the Letters Patent of 1947 as justification for describing the governor general as head of state, but others countered that the document makes no such distinction, either literally or implicitly,104 nor does it effect an abdication of the sovereign's powers in favour of the viceroy.36 Michael D. Jackson, former protocol officer for Saskatchewan, pointed out that Rideau Hall had been attempting to "recast" the governor general as head of state since the 1970s and that doing so preempted both the Queen and all of the lieutenant governors,95 the latter causing not only "precedence wars" at provincial events (where the governor general usurped the lieutenant governor's proper spot as most senior official in attendance),105106 but also constitutional issues by "unbalancing[...] the federalist symmetry."63107 This has been regarded as both a natural evolution and as a dishonest effort to alter the constitution without public scrutiny.104108 Still others view the role of head of state as being shared by both the sovereign and her viceroys.109110111 In a poll conducted by Ipsos-Reid following the first prorogation of the 40th parliament on 4 December 2008, it was found that 42% of the sample group thought the prime minister was head of state, while 33% felt it was the governor general. Only 24% named the Queen as head of state,94 a number up from 2002, when the results of an EKOS Research Associates survey showed only 5% of those polled knew the Queen was head of state (69% answered that it was the prime minister).112 Federal constitutional role King George VI, king of Canada (left), and William Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada (right), 11 May 1937 Canada's constitution is based on the Westminster parliamentary model, wherein the role of the Queen is both legal and practical, but not political.39 The sovereign is vested with all the powers of state, collectively known as the Royal Prerogative,113 which stems from the people,6 who are thus considered subjects of the Crown.114 However, as the monarch is a constitutional one, he or she does not rule alone, as in an absolute monarchy. Instead, the Crown is regarded as a corporation, with the monarch being the centre of a construct in which the power of the whole is shared by multiple institutions of government — the executive, legislative, and judicial4 — acting under the sovereign's authority,77115 which is entrusted for exercise by the politicians (the elected and appointed parliamentarians and the ministers of the Crown generally drawn from amongst them) and the judges and justices of the peace.5 The monarchy has thus been described as the underlying principle of Canada's institutional unity and the monarch as a "guardian of constitutional freedoms"1886 who's "job is to ensure that the political process remains intact and is allowed to function."39 The Crown also sits at the pinnacle of the Canadian Forces, with the constitution placing the monarch in the position of commander-in-chief of the entire force, though the governor general carries out the duties attached to the position and also bears the title of Commander-in-Chief in and Over Canada.116 Further, included in Canada's constitution are the various treaties between the Crown and Canadian First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, who view these documents as agreements directly and only between themselves and the reigning monarch, illustrating the relationship between sovereign and aboriginals.117118119 Executive (Queen-in-Council) The government of Canada — formally termed Her Majesty's Government120 — is defined by the constitution as the Queen acting on the advice of her Privy Council;120121122123 what is technically known as the Queen-in-Council,3 or sometimes the Governor-in-Council,59 referring to the governor general as the Queen's stand-in. One of the main duties of the Crown is to "ensure that a democratically elected government is always in place,"111 which means appointing a prime minister to thereafter head the Cabinet124 — a committee of the Privy Council charged with advising the Crown on the exercise of the Royal Prerogative.123 The Queen is informed by her viceroy of the swearing-in and resignation of prime ministers and other members of the ministry,124 remains fully briefed through regular communications from her Canadian ministers, and holds audience with them whenever possible.90 Governor General Michaëlle Jean with Her Majesty's Cabinet, 30 October 2008 In the construct of constitutional monarchy and responsible government, the ministerial advice tendered is typically binding,125 meaning the monarch reigns but does not rule, the Cabinet ruling "in trust" for the monarch.126 This has been the case in Canada since the Treaty of Paris ended the reign of the territory's last absolute monarch, King Louis XV. However, the Royal Prerogative belongs to the Crown and not to any of the ministers,5115127 and the royal and viceroyal figures may unilaterally use these powers in exceptional constitutional crisis situations,n 1457115128129130131 thereby allowing the monarch to make sure "that the government conducts itself in compliance with the constitution."111 There are also a few duties which must be specifically performed by, or bills that require assent by, the Queen; these include applying the royal sign-manual and Great Seal of Canada to the appointment papers of governors general, the issuance of Letters Patent,36 the confirmation of awards of Canadian honours, the approval of any change in her Canadian title,132 and the creation of new senate seats.133 The Royal Prerogative also extends to foreign affairs: the sovereign or governor general negotiates and ratifies treaties, alliances, and international agreements, all on the advice of the Cabinet, and the governor general, on behalf of the Queen, both accredits Canadian high commissioners and ambassadors and receives similar diplomats from foreign states. These tasks were solely in the domain of the monarch until the 1970s,134 when Queen Elizabeth II, on the advice of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, allowed the governor general to perform these duties on her behalf.135 In 2005, the letters of credence and recall were altered so as to run in the name of the incumbent governor general, instead of following the usual international process of the letters being from one head of state to another.135 In addition, the issuance of passports falls under the Royal Prerogative and,136 as such, all Canadian passports are issued in the monarch's name and remain her property.137 Parliament (Queen-in-Parliament) King George VI, with Queen Elizabeth, grants Royal Assent to bills in the Canadian Senate, 1939 All laws in Canada are the monarch's and the sovereign is one of the three components of parliament138139 — formally called the Queen-in-Parliament3 — but the monarch and viceroy do not participate in the legislative process save for the granting of Royal Assent, which is necessary for a bill to be enacted as law. Either figure or a delegate may perform this task, and the viceroy has the option of deferring assent to the sovereign, as per the constitution.140 The governor general is further responsible for summoning the House of Commons, while either the viceroy or monarch can prorogue and dissolve the legislature, after which the governor general usually calls for a general election. The new parliamentary session is marked by either the monarch, governor general, or some other representative reading the Speech from the Throne; as the sovereign is traditionally barred from the House of Commons, this ceremony, as well as the bestowing of Royal Assent, takes place in the Senate chamber.141 Despite this exclusion, members of the commons must still express their loyalty to the monarch and defer to her authority, as the Oath of Allegiance must be recited by all new parliamentarians before they may take their seat, and the official opposition is traditionally dubbed as Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.86142143

The monarch does not have the prerogative to impose and collect new taxes without the authorization of an Act of Parliament. The consent of the Crown must, however, be obtained before either of the houses of parliament may even debate a bill affecting the sovereign's prerogatives or interests, and no act of parliament binds the Queen or her rights unless the act states that it does.144 Courts (Queen-on-the-Bench) The sovereign is responsible for rendering justice for all her subjects, and is thus traditionally deemed the fount of justice,145 her position in the Canadian courts formally dubbed the Queen on the Bench.3 Though the monarch does not personally rule in judicial cases, this function of the Royal Prerogative instead performed in trust and in the Queen's name by officers of Her Majesty's court,145 common law holds the notion that the sovereign "can do no wrong"; the monarch cannot be prosecuted in her own courts, judged by herself, for criminal offences. Civil lawsuits against the Crown in its public capacity (that is, lawsuits against the Queen-in-Council) are permitted, but lawsuits against the monarch personally are not cognizable. In international cases, as a sovereign and under established principles of international law, the Queen of Canada is not subject to suit in foreign courts without her express consent.121 The monarch, and by extension the governor general, also grants immunity from prosecution,146 exercises the Royal Prerogative of Mercy and may pardon offences against the Crown,147148 either before, during, or after a trial. An image of the Queen and/or the Arms of Her Majesty in Right of Canada is always displayed in Canadian federal courtrooms. Itinerant judges will display an image of the Queen and the Canadian flag when holding a session away from established courtrooms; such situations occur in parts of Canada where the stakeholders in a given court case are too isolated geographically to be able to travel for regular proceedings. Cultural role Royal presence and duties Further information: List of Commonwealth visits made by Queen Elizabeth II Members of the Royal Family have been present in Canada since the late 18th century, their reasons including participating in military manoeuvres, serving as the federal viceroy, or undertaking official royal tours. A prominent feature of the latter are numerous royal walkabouts, the tradition of which was initiated in 1939 by Queen Elizabeth when she was in Ottawa and broke from the royal party to speak directly to gathered veterans.149150 Usually important milestones, anniversaries, or celebrations of Canadian culture will warrant the presence of the monarch,149 while other royals will be asked to participate in lesser occasions. A household to assist and tend to the monarch forms part of the royal party. Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, arrive at The Carlu in Toronto, Ontario, November 2009 Official duties involve the sovereign representing the Canadian state at home or abroad, or her relations as members of the Royal Family participating in government organized ceremonies either in Canada or elsewhere.n 15167168169170 The advice of the Canadian Cabinet is the impetus for royal participation in any Canadian event, though, at present, the Chief of Protocol and his staff in the Department of Canadian Heritage are, as part of the State Ceremonial and Canadian Symbols Program,171172 responsible for orchestrating any official events in or for Canada that involve the Royal Family.173 Conversely, unofficial duties are performed by Royal Family members on behalf of Canadian organizations of which they may be patrons, through their attendance at charity events, visiting with members of the Canadian Forces as colonel-in-chief, or marking certain key anniversaries.167170 The invitation and expenses associated with these undertakings are usually borne by the associated organization.167 In 2005 members of the Royal Family were present at a total of 76 Canadian engagements, as well as several more through 2006 and 2007.174 Apart from Canada, the Queen and other members of the Royal Family regularly perform public duties in the other fifteen nations of the Commonwealth in which the Queen is head of state. This situation, however, can mean the monarch and/or members of the Royal Family will be promoting one nation and not another; a situation that has been met with criticism.n 16 Symbols, associations, and awards Main article: Canadian royal symbols The Queen's Personal Canadian Flag The main symbol of the monarchy is the sovereign herself, described as "the personal expression of the Crown in Canada,"176 and her image is thus used to signify Canadian sovereignty and government authority — her effigy, for instance, appearing on currency, and her portrait in government buildings.86 The sovereign is further both mentioned in and the subject of songs, loyal toasts, and salutes.177 A royal cypher, appearing on buildings and official seals, or a crown, seen on provincial and national coats of arms, as well as police force and Canadian Forces regimental and maritime badges and rank insignia, is also used to illustrate the monarchy as the locus of authority,178 the latter without referring to any specific monarch. An equestrian statue of Edward VII in Queen's Park, Toronto Since the days of King Louis XIV,179 the monarch is the fount of all honours in Canada and new orders,179180 decorations, and medals, which form "an integral element of the Crown,"179 may only be created with the approval of the sovereign through letters patent. Hence, the insignia and medallions for these awards bear a crown, cypher, and/or effigy of the monarch. Similarly, the country's heraldic authority was created by the Queen and, operating under the authority of the governor general, grants new coats of arms, flags, and badges in Canada. Use of the royal crown in such symbols is a gift from the monarch showing royal support and/or association, and requires her approval before being added.178 Members of the Royal Family also act as ceremonial Colonels-in-Chief of various military regiments, reflecting the Crown's relationship with the armed forces through participation in events both at home and abroad.n 17 The monarch also serves as the Honorary Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.181 A number of Canadian civilian organizations have association with the monarchy, either through their being founded via a royal charter, having been granted the right to use the prefix royal before their name, or because at least one member of the Royal Family serves as a patron. Some charities and volunteer organizations have also been founded as gifts to, or in honour of, some of Canada's monarchs or members of the Royal Family, such as the Victorian Order of Nurses (a gift to Queen Victoria for her Diamond Jubilee in 1897), the Canadian Cancer Fund (set up in honour of King George V's Silver Jubilee in 1935), and the Queen Elizabeth II Fund to Aid in Research on the Diseases of Children. A number of awards in Canada are likewise issued in the name of previous or present members of the Royal Family. Further, organizations will give commemorative gifts to members of the Royal Family to mark a visit or other important occasion. Canadian Royal Family The Canadian Royal Family is shared with other countries. For information on the Royal Family in those regions, see Commonwealth realm > Royal family. The Canadian Royal Family is a group of people related to the monarch of Canada.182 There is no strict legal or formal definition of who is or is not a member of the group,183 though the Department of Canadian Heritage maintains a list of immediate members and the Department of National Defence stipulates that those in the direct line of succession who bear the style of Royal Highness (Altesse Royale) are subjects of,184185 and owe their allegiance to, the reigning sovereign specifically as king or queen of Canada.186 This entitles them to Canadian consular assistance and to the protection of the Queen's armed forces of Canada when they are outside of the Commonwealth realms and in need of protection or aid.186 The Canadian Royal Family gathers in Lac-Brome, Quebec, 1976 (left to right: the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne, Mark Phillips, Prince Edward, the Queen, Prince Andrew, and Charles, Prince of Wales Given the shared nature of the Canadian monarch, most members of the Canadian Royal Family are also members of the British Royal Family, and thus the House of Windsor. As such, they are the distant relations of the Belgian, Danish, Greek, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish Royal Families, and bear lineage from, amongst others, Arab, Armenian, Cuman, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Mongolian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Serbian, and Swedish ethnicities,187 as well as, according to Moroccan and Chinese officials, respectively, being directly descended from the Prophet Muhammad and Tang Dynasty Chinese Emperors.188 However, because Canada and the UK are independent of one another, it is incorrect to refer in the Canadian context to the family of the monarch as the "British Royal Family"189 — as is frequently done by Canadian and other media190191 — and there exist some differences between the official lists of each: for instance, while he never held the style His Royal Highness, Angus Ogilvy was included in the Department of Canadian Heritage's royal family list, but was not considered a member of the British Royal Family.192 Additionally, unlike in the United Kingdom, the monarch is the only member of the Royal Family in Canada with a title established through law; it would be possible for others to be granted distinctly Canadian titles (as is the case for the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland), but they have always been, and continue to only be, accorded the use of a courtesy title, which is that they have been granted via letters patent in the United Kingdom, though they are also in Canada translated to French.n 18 Though the group is predominantly based in the United Kingdom, the sovereign and those amongst her relations who do not meet the requirements of Canadian citizenship law are still considered Canadian;193194 as early as 1959, it was recognized that the Queen was "equally at home in all her realms."195 Rather, as legal subjects of the country's monarch,186 the Royal Family holds a unique position reflected in the confusion that sometimes arises around the awarding of honours to them.n 19 There are three Canadian citizens within the Canadian Royal Family: Two married into it: In 1988, Sylvana Jones (née Tomaselli in Placentia, Newfoundland) wed the Earl of St. Andrews, a great-grandson of King George V, and, on 18 May 2008, Autumn Kelly, originally from Montreal, married Queen Elizabeth II's eldest grandson, Peter Phillips.199 In December 2010, Autumn Phillips gave birth to a daughter who held dual Canadian and British citizenship and was, at the time, 12th in line to the throne.200 Beyond legalities, members of the Royal Family have also, on occasion, declared themselves to be Canadian,n 19n 20 and some past members have lived in Canada for extended periods as viceroy or for other reasons.n 21 Still, the existence of a Canadian Royal Family is contested, mostly by individuals in Canada's republican movement, but also by former Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia Iona Campagnolo.208 Poet George Elliott Clarke publicly mused about a fully First Nations royal family for Canada.209 According to the Canadian Royal Heritage Trust, Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent and Strathearn — due to his having lived in Canada between 1791 and 1800, and fathering Queen Victoria — is the "ancestor of the modern Canadian Royal Family."205 Nonetheless, the concept of the Canadian Royal Family did not emerge until after the passage of the Statute of Westminster in 1931, when Canadian officials only began to overtly consider putting the principles of Canada's new status as an independent kingdom into effect.210 At first, the monarch was the only member of the Royal Family to carry out public ceremonial duties solely on the advice of Canadian ministers; King Edward VIII became the first to do so when in July 1936 he dedicated the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France — one of his few obligations performed during his short reign.n 15 Over the decades, however, the monarch's children, grandchildren, cousins, and their respective spouses began to also perform functions at the direction of the Canadian Crown-in-Council, representing the monarch within Canada or abroad. By the 1960s, loyal societies in Canada recognized the Queen's cousin, Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, as a "Canadian princess";211 but, it was not until October 2002 when the term Canadian Royal Family was first used publicly and officially by a member of it: in a speech to the Nunavut legislature at its opening, Queen Elizabeth II stated: "I am proud to be the first member of the Canadian Royal Family to be greeted in Canada's newest territory."212 The press frequently follows the movements of the Royal Family, and can, at times, affect the group's popularity, which has fluctuated over the years. Mirroring the mood in the United Kingdom, the family's lowest approval was during the mid-1980s to 1990s, when the children of the monarch were enduring their divorces and were the targets of negative tabloid reporting.n 22 Federal residences and royal household Main article: Government Houses of Canada Rideau Hall, the monarch's principal Canadian residence, though foremostly that of the governor general

A number of buildings across Canada are reserved by the Crown for the use of the monarch and her viceroys. The sovereign's principal official residence, as well as that primarily used by the governor general, is Rideau Hall,214215216217218219 located in Ottawa, Ontario,220 and another residence of the governor general is the Citadelle, in Quebec City. Each of these royal seats holds pieces from the Crown Collection.221 Further, though neither was ever used for their intended purpose, Hatley Castle in British Columbia was purchased in 1940 by King George VI in Right of Canada to use as his home during the course of World War II,222 and the Emergency Government Headquarters, built in 1959 at CFS Carp and decommissioned in 1994, included a residential apartment for the sovereign or governor general in the case of a nuclear attack on Ottawa.223224 The governor general's residence at La Citadelle Monarchs and members of their family have also owned in a private capacity homes and land in Canada: King Edward VIII owned Bedingfield Ranch, near Pekisko, Alberta;225 The Marquess of Lorne and Princess Louise owned a cottage on the Cascapédia River in Quebec;226 and Princess Margaret owned Portland Island between its gifting to her by the Crown in Right of British Columbia in 1958 and her death in 2002, though she offered it back to the Crown on permanent loan in 1966 and the island and surrounding waters eventually became Princess Margaret Marine Park.227228 To assist the Queen in carrying out her official duties on behalf of Canada, she appoints various people to her Canadian household. Along with the Canadian Secretary to the Queen,173 the monarch's entourage includes two ladies-in-waiting, the Canadian Equerry-in-Waiting to the Queen, the Queen's Police Officer, the Duke of Edinburgh's Police Officer,229 the Queen's Honorary Physician, the Queen's Honorary Dental Surgeon, and the Queen's Honorary Nursing Officer230 — the latter three being drawn from the Canadian Forces.65 There are also three household regiments specifically attached to the Royal Household (the Governor General's Foot Guards, the Governor General's Horse Guards, and the Canadian Grenadier Guards), as well as two chapels royal in Ontario.231 History Main article: History of monarchy in Canada Francis I of France; established colonies in Acadia and Canada, 1534 The Canadian monarchy can trace its ancestral lineage back to the kings of the Angles and the early Scottish kings, through centuries since parts of the territories that today comprise Canada were claimed by King Henry VII in 1497 and others by King Francis I in 1534; both being blood relatives of the current Canadian monarch. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said of the Crown that it "links us all together with the majestic past that takes us back to the Tudors, the Plantagenets, the Magna Carta, habeas corpus, petition of rights, and English common law."232 Though the first French and British colonizers of Canada interpreted the hereditary nature of some indigenous North American chieftainships as a form of monarchy,233234235 it is generally accepted that Canada has been a territory of a monarch or a monarchy in its own right only since the establishment of New France in the early 17th century;17 according to historian Jacques Monet, the Canadian Crown is one of the few that have survived through uninterrupted succession since before its inception.24 After the Canadian colonies of France were, via war and treaties, ceded to the British Crown, and the population was greatly expanded by those loyal to George III fleeing north from persecution during and following the American Revolution, British North America was in 1867 confederated by Queen Victoria to form Canada as a kingdom in its own right.3090236 By the end of the First World War, the increased fortitude of Canadian nationalism inspired the country's leaders to push for greater independence from the King in his British Council, resulting in the creation of the uniquely Canadian monarchy through the Statute of Westminster, which was granted Royal Assent in 1931.237238 Only five years later, Canada had three successive kings in the space of one year, with the death of George V, the accession and abdication of Edward VIII, and his replacement by George VI. The latter became in 1939 the first reigning monarch of Canada to tour the country (though previous kings had done so before their accession). As the ease of travel increased, visits by the sovereign and other Royal Family members became more frequent and involved, seeing Queen Elizabeth II officiate at various moments of importance in the nation's history, one being when she proclaimed the country to be fully independent, via constitutional patriation, in 1982.202 That act is said to have entrenched the monarchy in Canada,239 due to the stringent requirements, as laid out in the amending formula, that must be met in order to alter the monarchy in any way.68 Through the 1960s and 1970s, the rise of Quebec nationalism and changes in Canadian identity created an atmosphere where the purpose and role of the monarchy came into question. Some references to the monarch and the monarchy were removed from the public eye and moves were made by the federal government to constitutionally alter the Crown's place and role in Canada, first by explicit legal amendments and later by subtle attrition impelled by elements of the public service, the Cabinet, and governors general and their staff alike.107240 But, provincial and federal ministers, along with loyal national citizen's organizations, ensured that the system remained the same in essence.241 By 2002, the royal tour and associated fêtes for the Queen's Golden Jubilee proved popular with Canadians across the country,242243244 though Canada's first republican organization since the 1830s was also founded that year. Planning began in 2010 for the celebrations to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee in 2012,245246 the first such event in Canada since 1897, when Victoria marked her 60th year on the throne. Debate To date, outside of academic circles, there has been little national debate on the Canadian monarchy, a subject of which most Canadians are generally unaware.247 Neither of Canada's two most prominent political parties — the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party — is officially in favour of abolishing the monarchy, though the latter makes support for constitutional monarchy a founding principle in its policy declaration,248 and the New Democratic Party (NDP) has no official position on the role of the Crown. Only some Members of Parliament belonging to these parties and the leaders of the Bloc Québécois have made any statements suggesting abolition of the monarchy.249250251 Canada has two special-interest groups representing the debate, who frequently argue the issue in the media: the Monarchist League of Canada and Citizens for a Canadian Republic.252253 There are also other loyal organizations, such as the United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada,254 the Canadian Royal Heritage Trust,255 the Orange Order in Canada,256 and the Friends of the Canadian Crown.257 The idea of a uniquely Canadian monarch has been proffered as an alternative,258 either one descended from the present queen or coming from a First Nations royal house;22209259260 however, there has been no popular or official support for such a change.

Canada portal Canadian politics portal Commonwealth realms portal List of Canadian monarchs Current Commonwealth realms States headed by Elizabeth II Monarchies in the Americas List of monarchies Notes ^ The date of the first establishment a monarchical form of government in parts of the territory which now forms Canada varies: some sources give the year as 1497, when King Henry VII claimed parts of Newfoundland,1213 while others put it at 1534, when New France was founded in the name of King Francis I.1415161718 ^ The term was first coined by Governor General The Lord Grey in 1905, when he stated in a telegram to King Edward VII regarding the inauguration of Alberta and Saskatchewan into Confederation: "[each one] a new leaf in Your Majesty's Maple Crown".25 ^ a b On a number of occasions, the sovereign has carried out foreign relations as the representative uniquely of Canada, such as the visits to the United States by King George VI in 1939 and Queen Elizabeth II in 1957. ^ The English Court of Appeal ruled in 1982, while "there is only one person who is the Sovereign within the British Commonwealth... in matters of law and government the Queen of the United Kingdom, for example, is entirely independent and distinct from the Queen of Canada."28 ^ In 1997, then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair intended to offer a life peerage to Canadian businessman Conrad Black. However, citing the 1919 Nickle Resolution, the Canadian Cabinet advised the Queen not to grant Black such an honour. If Blair had not yielded, the Queen would have been in the situation of having to grant an honour on the advice of her British prime minister and to object to the same as Queen of Canada on the advice of then Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. ^ Ted McWhinney theorized that failure to make this proclamation would result in an empty throne for Canada, leaving the governor general as full head of state.57 The proposal was met with criticism from legal experts.58 ^ For example, Edward VIII was never crowned, yet was undoubtedly king during his short time on the throne. ^ The only Canadian monarch to abdicate, Edward VIII, did so with the authorization of the Canadian government granted in His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act, 1936, and the Succession to the Throne Act, 1937, later confirmed this in law. ^ For example, if a lawsuit is filed against the federal government, the respondent is formally described as Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, or simply Regina.65 Likewise, in a case in which a party sues both the province of Saskatchewan and the federal government, the respondents would be formally called Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Saskatchewan and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada.66 ^ Illustrative of this arrangement is property tranfers; of this, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources states: "When public land is required by the federal government or one of its departments, or any provincial ministry, the land itself is not transferred. What is transferred is the responsibility to manage the lands on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen (HMQ). This is accomplished by an Order-in-Council or a Minister's Order which transfers management of land either from HMQ in right of Ontario to HMQ in right of Canada as represented by a department or to HMQ in right of Ontario as represented by another ministry. The Crown does not transfer ownership to itself.67 ^ The sovereign has been described by Eugene Forsey as the "symbolic embodiment of the people — not a particular group or interest or party, but the people, the whole people" and the Department of Canadian Heritage as the "personal symbol of allegiance, unity and authority for all Canadians,"307071 a concept akin to that expressed by King Louis XIV: "l'État, c'est moi", or, "I am the state."72 Robertson Davies stated in 1994: "the Crown is the consecrated spirit of Canada,"73 and past Ontario chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada Gary Toffoli opined: "The Queen is the legal embodiment of the state at both the national and the provincial levels... she is our sovereign and it is the role of the Queen, recognized by the constitutional law of Canada, to embody the state."74 ^ The Supreme Court found in the 1980 case Attorney General of Quebec v. Labrecque that civil servants in Canada are not contracted by an abstraction called "the state", but rather they are employed by the monarch, who "enjoys a general capacity to contract in accordance with the rule of ordinary law."82 ^ It is stated in the Rules & Forms of the House of Commons of Canada that "allegiance to the King means allegiance to the Country."85 ^ See Note 1 at Queen's Privy Council for Canada. ^ a b c Though the Royal Family represents other countries abroad, as directed by their respective cabinets, and typically the governor general will undertake state visits and other foreign duties on behalf of the Queen of Canada,77130151 members of the Royal Family will also take part in Canadian events overseas.152153154155156157158159160161162163164165166 ^ Former external affairs minister Mitchell Sharp commented on a situation wherein Elizabeth II was in Latin America to promote British goods at the same time a Canadian ministerial trip to the same area was underway to promote Canadian products. Sharp stated: "We couldn't ask Her Majesty to perform the function she was performing for Britain on that Latin American trip because the Queen is never recognized as Queen of Canada, except when she is in Canada."175 The Queen's participation in Canadian events overseas contradicts Sharp's statement, however.n 3n 15 ^ Such events include Troopings of the Colour, inspections of the troops, and anniversaries of key battles; whenever the sovereign or a member of her family is in Ottawa, they lay a wreath at the National War Memorial. ^ The styles for the most senior members of the Royal Family are: His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh: Son Altesse Royale le prince Philip, duc d'Édimbourg His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales: Son Altesse Royale le prince de Galles His Royal Highness The Duke of York: Son Altesse Royale le duc d'York His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex: Son Altesse Royale le comte de Wessex Her Royal Highness The Countess of Wessex: Son Altesse Royale la comtesse de Wessex Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal: Son Altesse Royale la princesse Royale ^ a b For example, the Queen Mother was appointed a Companion of the Order of Canada on only an honorary basis, though the Canadian Forces Decoration awarded to her was substantive.196197 Similarly, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, refused honorary appointment to the Order of Canada on the grounds that, as the royal consort of the Queen, he was Canadian, and thus entitled to a substantive appointment,198 as he had been awarded the Canadian Forces Decoration and Commemorative Medal for the Centennial of Saskatchewan. ^ Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, said in 1951 that when in Canada she was "amongst fellow countrymen,"37201 and in 2005, Elizabeth, now Queen of Canada, said she agreed with the statement earlier made by her mother, Queen Elizabeth, that Canada felt like a "home away from home."202 ^ Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, served as the Commander of British North American troops in Canada's Maritimes for nine years after 1791, mostly in Halifax;203 his granddaughter, Princess Louise, Marchioness of Lorne, lived in Canada between 1878 and 1883 as viceregal consort;204 and her brother, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, resided in Canada first through 1870 as a member of the Canadian Militia defending Canada from the Fenian Raids,205 and then as governor general from 1911 until 1916.206 Later, for six years beginning in 1940, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone (a great-grandchild of the Duke of Kent), lived in Canada with her husband, The Earl of Athlone (himself a great-grandchild of King George III),205 while he served as governor general.207 ^ An EKOS Research Associates Poll conducted in May 2002, concluded that 35% of Canadians found the Royal Family boring, 52% saw them as interesting, with 12% stated that the family was neither. 44% said the royals were irrelevant, 46% said the opposite, and 8% said neither. 59% saw the Royal Family as tired, 22% deemed them vibrant, and 17% put them at neither.213 A March 2005, Decima Research Poll found some interesting support levels for members of the Royal Family: 71% of Canadians had a favourable impression of the Royal Family. Only 20% had an unfavourable impression of the Royal Family. The poll found that 28% of Canadians saw the Queen as their favourite member of the Royal Family, Prince William was second with 26%, Prince Harry was third with 9%, Prince Charles was fourth with 6% and Prince Philip last with 2%.
