This is how you monarchy properly. Handing out swords is peak king/queen.

As much as I believe we need to chop the royal family out of Canada, this is fairly moving and I appreciate the gesture. Scares me poopless that even the royal family sees this as a war now to, I think it could move past trade war real fast!

I would like to see the UK surface a ICBM capable sub off DC or NYC and wave the missile ports as a gesture.
