List of Canadian monarchs
Encyclopedia
This page lists those monarchs who have reigned over Canada since Confederation
in 1867, at which time the country was deemed to have become a kingdom
in its own right, though before that date the territories that today comprise Canada were reigned over by successive European monarchs since 1534.
While Canada
became self-governing Dominion within the British Empire
in 1867, the concept of the state being fully independent, and sharing a sovereign with the United Kingdom
and other Commonwealth realm
s, did not emerge until the passage of the Statute of Westminster
in 1931. Since that time, the Canadian Crown has been recognized as legally distinct from the crowns of the other Commonwealth realms, meaning that Canada is a kingdom in its own right with a distinct national monarch. Still, though the term King of Canada was used as early as the beginning of the reign of George VI, it was not until 1953 that the style was made official; Elizabeth II was the first monarch to be separately proclaimed as Queen of Canada, by the Royal Style and Titles Act
.
A royal consort is the spouse of a ruling king or queen
. Consorts of Canadian monarchs have no constitutional status or power, but are members of the Canadian Royal Family. In the United Kingdom
, all female consorts have had the right to and have held the title of Queen Consort
; as Canada does not have laws or letters patent
under the Great Seal of Canada
laying out the styles of any Royal Family members besides the monarch, royal consorts are addressed in Canada using the title as they hold in the UK. After informal discussions amongst the various Commonwealth prime ministers, between 1954 and 1957, it was decided that Prince Philip
, husband of Elizabeth II, not be granted the title of Prince Consort
.
Two sovereigns reigned over Canada without a consort: Victoria's husband, Albert, died before Confederation
and, as Wallis Warfield Simpson married the Duke of Windsor after his abdication
, she was never queen consort of Canada. Though Camilla Parker-Bowles
will technically become Queen Consort in the United Kingdom, Clarence House
has stated that, due to public opinion regarding her relationship with the Prince of Wales
, she will be styled there as Princess Consort
.
