Statement from Premier Heather Stefanson on the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla



On behalf of all Manitobans, I am pleased to mark this historic occasion by offering congratulations to His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla on their coronation.

Manitobans are proud to watch the King take on his new role, with full confidence that he will exemplify the determination, dedication and purpose that were the trademarks of his mother, Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

In the seven decades following the last coronation, Manitoba hosted King Charles III on multiple occasions as the Prince of Wales including visits in 1970, 1979, 1996 and 2014.

As people around the world celebrate the coronation, Manitobans wish the new King and Queen great happiness and success in their roles as they continue to inspire and lead.

Long live the King.
