Protocol Regarding Pictures of the Queen

With the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the accession of His Majesty King Charles III, please be advised that pictures, lithographs, and prints of the Queen—unless signed by the Queen—are to be removed by September 22 (we recognize this was yesterday so please do so as soon as possible). Paintings of the Queen may remain. Portraits of King Charles III and Her Majesty the Queen Consort should be given more prominent positions for display. The official portrait of His Majesty will be provided by the Department of Canadian Heritage when available.
