00:01He absolutely, yeah, absolutely a perfect balancing act. Doesn't he always on his centre stage?

00:07I mean, I just think he has done a great, great job.

00:12And I believe, you know, the feeling of Canada is not alone in this fight

00:17does filter through, along with the symbolic gestures that we see continuously

00:27when, you know, seeing King Charles at any events.

00:32You know, small things like him sitting on the wooden chair during the Commonwealth.

00:39You know, I just think this has been great.

00:42And I have to say the ceremonial side has been tremendous.

00:47But a delicate tightrope, I didn't feel he's stepped into the political terrain.

00:54And I just think, you know, he's also sort of issuing the message in a way about the proud, resilient country.

01:07And I do feel in my heart that he is applauding the diversity, the multicultural, the democracy.

01:17And there we are. I mean, he gave that speech impeccably, as he always does speaking French.

01:26And he's aware there's no president at the moment.

01:30But Carney, very bright.

01:32And as I say, I cannot believe that he has flown out.

01:37We know that he's having his cancer treatment, but it just shows his tenacity,

01:42how he wanted to be there and wants to be part of this.

01:48He wants everyone to feel together.

01:52And, yep, he's there.

01:54So, incredible to see.

01:56I will dissect that speech shortly.

01:59I haven't watched it enough, really, to go into it.

02:02Yeah, no, it was very good.

02:04And Helena, the King and the Queen now, will make their way towards Ottawa Airport.

02:11Believed to be leaving the country around about 22, about 20 minutes time before 10 to 6.

02:18Believed to be taking off.

02:19We'll cross that live as it happens.

02:21A real whistle-stop tour, a whirlwind tour.

02:23Absolutely.

02:24And isn't it nice, at last, to see countries abroad not trying to say,

02:27let's get the Republic out.

02:29You know, let's have a vote and let's end British rule.

02:32Canada fully embracing its sovereign heritage.

02:36Beautiful stuff, Helena Child.

02:37Thank you for joining us.

02:38That's up to them.

02:39Well done. Cheers.

02:40I'm going to speak to you again soon.
