The Prince of Wales’ relationship with Canada is more complicated. On the one hand, Prince Charles is a member of the Canadian
Privy Council and he is colonel-in-chief of several Canadian regiments. He founded the Prince’s Charities Canada and is patron of numerous organizations. He has a Canadian royal standard and has toured Canada many times since the 1970s, reflecting not only his standing as a member of the royal family but also his stature as a public figure and advocate of various causes. Most importantly, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will become King of Canada when his mother passes.
On the other hand, until there is a
demise of Crown (the technical term for when a monarch dies), it is not obvious what place Prince Charles occupies in the Canadian Constitution. Unlike in the United Kingdom, the Prince of Wales has no constitutional rights and duties in Canada. There is no explicit mention of the Prince of Wales in the
Constitution Act, 1867 or the
Constitution Act, 1982.
Section 2 of the
British North America Act, 1867 (now the
Constitution Act, 1867), which mentioned the Queen’s heirs and successors, was repealed by the British Parliament in 1893.
Canada has no equivalent of the United Kingdom’s
Regency Act, 1937, which would allow the Prince to fulfil the Queen’s functions for Canada should she be incapacitated. Oaths to the Queen and her “Heirs and Successors,” moreover, have been deemed merely symbolic by the
Ontario Court of Appeal.
