Prince William gives subtle nod to Canada amid Trump tensions

Prince William is sending what many believe to be a quiet but powerful message of solidarity with Canada—and it’s all in the jacket.

The Prince of Wales was recently spotted wearing a green Lululemon puffer coat, a move royal watchers say is a subtle show of support for the Canadian-founded brand and, by extension, the country itself. 

The fashion choice comes as tensions rise between Canada and US President Donald Trump, who has threatened import tariffs and even joked about turning Canada into the “51st state.”

Prince William's nod to Canada didn’t go unnoticed, especially as it follows another moment of royal support. 

Earlier this month, King Charles welcomed Canadian parliamentary figures to Buckingham Palace, where he was presented with a ceremonial sword commissioned by the Canadian Senate in honour of the new reign.

While the meeting was private, insiders say matters of political significance were discussed, signalling Canada's importance to the monarchy.

In yet another show of affection, the King marked the 60th anniversary of Canada’s flag day in February with a heartfelt message: “Since that time, [the maple leaf] has become internationally recognised as a symbol of a proud, resilient and compassionate country. It is a symbol that never fails to elicit a sense of pride and admiration.”
