Global Affairs Canada was forced to admit it was behind the purchase after some New York real estate gossip reported that the condo deal was done for King Charles himself.

The deed for the property shows it was listed for more than US$6.6 million and was sold last month to "His Majesty the King in right of Canada."

Pretty funny that the only reason this got out is because we use such an ostentatious phrase to refer to the legal entity of the Crown. It's pretty mundane if you work in the government, but I can see how a bunch of New York real estate agents would have no idea what that phrase means.

Funny and sad that the Canadian taxpayers are footing the bill for some friend of a friend to have a luxury condo in NYC. These so called leaders are just milking everyone. What a disgrace.
