The monarchy of Canada is the main figure of Canada's constitutional federal structure and Westminster-style parliamentary democracy. The monarchy is currently represented by a king who appoints a governor general to represent him in Canada.
The current Canadian monarch and head of state is King Charles III, who has reigned since 8 September 2022. Charles' eldest son, Prince William, Prince of Wales, will eventually inherit the position as heir apparent.
The monarch is a part of the executive (King-in-Council), legislative (King-in-Parliament), and judicial (King-on-the-Bench) branches of both federal and provincial jurisdictions.
