King Charles says he 'misses Canada' in meeting with Canadian mounted troop at Windsor Castle

Members of the Canadian military’s only ceremonial mounted troop got to meet and chat with the King Monday at Windsor Castle.

The 26 soldiers from Lord Strathcona’s Horse, a Canadian Forces tank regiment based in Edmonton, are in England to fill the role of the King’s Life Guard at Buckingham Palace until July 21. King Charles III hosted them Monday at Windsor Castle.

“His Royal Highness invited the mounted troop over for a brief meeting,” Capt. Tom Lauterbacher, the Strathcona Mounted Troop leader, said Monday.
