Canada has extended an invitation to King Charles III to open Parliament in the coming weeks, multiple sources tell Global News.

If accepted, it would be the first time that a sovereign has opened Parliament since Queen Elizabeth II last did so in 1977.

Sources tell Global News he is likely to attend, but Buckingham Palace has not officially accepted and, due to protocol, confirmation would need to be provided by the Palace.
