Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has met with King Charles III in the United Kingdom.
It’s the first time the pair have connected since he became monarch following the passing of the Queen.
As Trudeau is in London this weekend to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, he had an audience with His Majesty at Buckingham Palace on Saturday, September 17.
Canada’s Governor General Mary Simon was also in London and signed the book.
