DEVELOPING Defence rests without Donald Trump taking the witness stand in his New York hush money trial

Canada's Governor General met in-person with members of the Royal Family on Tuesday, just one week after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also held an audience with the Queen.
The Queen hosted Gov. Gen. Mary Simon and her husband, Whit Fraser, for afternoon tea at Windsor Castle. A photograph released by a Twitter account for the Royal Family shows Simon bowing and shaking hands with the world's longest-reigning monarch.
A statement released by Rideau Hall said Simon met with the Queen to share “Canadians’ best wishes in this year of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.”
“It was a great honour to meet with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II earlier today,” Simon said in the statement. “Our Queen is such an inspiration in these difficult times, and it was a privilege to share with her the Inuit concept of ajuinnata, which means to never give up, that is guiding my work as governor general.”
This was Simon’s second official meeting with the Queen, and their first meeting in-person.
Simon and Fraser also met with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House on Tuesday. A Twitter account for Clarence House released a photo of Prince Charles and Camilla posing with the Canadian pair.
According to the statement from Rideau Hall, Simon and Fraser will take part in a ceremonial tree planting to mark the Queen’s Jubilee before leaving London on March 17 for a working visit to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait.
The Queen has returned to holding in-person meetings after it was announced on Feb. 20 she tested positive for COVID-19.
Trudeau met with the Queen last week while he was in the U.K. to hold talks on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
