Residence of the Canadian Monarch

Rideau Hall should be added as the residence of the Canadian monarch, although the person of the King resides predominantly in London, the position of King of Canada has Rideau Hall as the official residence. it is important to note that the Canadian Crown and King is a Legally sperate position to that of the British Crown and King despite being held by the same person, therefore it should be reflected on the page that the King of Canadas residence is Rideau Hall. there is further precedent for this as while the King of the United Kingdom does not live in Buckingham palace (instead opting to live in Clarence House) it is still listed as the official residence on the Wikipedia page, as it is the Position that resides in the house not the person.

Hello. Several weeks ago, an RFC was held on this matter & the consensus was to exclude Rideau Hall. Because the monarch doesn't reside in Canada. GoodDay (talk) 15:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

while a consensus may have been reached on that. that doesn't refute the fact that by virtue of the position the king is the resident and proprietor of Rideau Hall, while Charles III doesn't actively live there full time it is never the less the official residence of the monarch of Canada, One can look at the example on the Monarch of the United Kingdoms page where it lists Buckingham palace as a residence when the King does not reside there and hasn't since taking the throne, just because the monarch doesn't reside in Canada (On a permanent basis) doesn't mean they loose the official residence which per statute they own, given that I think its improper to exclude it, I understand on other commonwealth pages such as Monarchy of Australia, Monarchy of New Zealand etc the removal of Admiralty house and Government House respectively as they are described by State sources as the residence of the Governor General, the Kings Representative with it being described as the King (and royal family) using it in a guest capacity when in nation, however Rideau Hall is specifically described as the residence of the Governor General and the Monarch of Canada.

A consensus to exclude was already reached. If you don't comply (via restoration edits) with that result? you risk ending up being blocked. GoodDay (talk) 18:35, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, Knowledgework69 this has already been extensively discussed. Please review Archive 22. Wellington Bay (talk) 18:39, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You state "Rideau Hall is specifically described as the residence of the Governor General and the Monarch of Canada." In fact, in official documents, Rideau Hall is explicitly called a "vice-regal estate"[1][2] or residence, it is never described as a "royal residence". Wellington Bay (talk) 18:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The King has many residences of which Rideau Hall is just one. I do not accept that residence does not apply to the natural person. They are residences because the natural person resides there. We refer to Sandringham and Balmoral as royal residences, although they are owned by the natural person, becaupse Charles sometimes resides there.

Also, when the PM or other Canadian communicates with the King or vice versa, the address is not Rideau Hall, unless the King happens to be residing there at the time. TFD (talk) 20:35, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the official Government of Canada website for Rideau Hall. What do you notice?[3]. Wellington Bay (talk) 20:56, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
