It's not "so-called", that just what it is called.
I just found this infographic from the Canadian Senate website lol. This is the new throne, but there is another one from 1878.
This is the 1878 throne set (left is Sovereign, right is the Consort, and middle is the Senate Speaker's Chair.
Im a Canadian and King Charles is my monarch.
He is, I believe, head of this thing called the Commonwealth.

Holy shit yeah.
Stand with our set upon champions of freedom and democracy (after we steal your land destroy your culture leadership and people) returning to promote........freedom and democracy,. against..... feudist fascists.
Ahhh. What a world.
General strike is how to protest.
Also, only buy essentials. Buy food and clothing you need. Make your own coffee at home the easy, cheap way with a Melita system instead. Save money.
Maybe the USA can become part of Canada, Great Britain and a resident of His Majesty the King?
King Charles will come to Ottawa, sit on the throne, and deliver a speech.
Is basic research beyond Politico now?
I cannot believe am saying this:
Long live #KingCharles!
It appears PM Carney made some royal friends during his tenure as the Governor of the Bank of England as well.
Only once the more popular girl exposed herself to be a screaming banshee lunatic was the vail finally lifted.
Personally I love it if we told him to naff-off. We don’t want you in our country, you pig-ignorant pusillanimous philistine.
But then again, I can’t wait for the folks to bring out the Baby Trump blimp and for us all to shout abuse at him.
How so many who could push back on Trump insanity are not is I think partly what is stupefying our country right now…like a sustained deer-in-headlights moment that won’t end
Good grief... there is so much wrong w this...
where to begin?
UK monarchs have been deprived of many of the powers which they had before King George III became incompetent and a regent "ruled" in his place. The role is largely ceremonial now.
The colonies are now independent or called territories.
Parliamentary Supremacy in England was actually determined in 1698, by the way. The last Absolute Monarch of England was Charles I.
Oh puh-leeeeze.
Royals shouldn't be a thing... at all...
that's the point.
🍊Shitler can take his visions of grandeur & go fuck himself w them.
You can't make this stuff up.
The world is absurd.
With someone not wanting to move here because of King Charles, they also have to rule out Australia and 54 other countries.
#AbolishTheMonarchy
An ally/partner under #seige by a corrupt regime.
King Donald is King over himself and no other.
Few shows conservatives allow kids to watch.
Would never wish to be a king of anywhere.
True Monarch is supposed to fully pay debts of nation from own treasury not backs of poor.
If not true monarch then nation is poorer for poor must pay bills.
Bobble head works.
Trump is also going to the G7 in Alberta, which isn't so great. Alberta is Trump country though....
