Humera said:because both the PoW and the DoC are heirs to the Canadian monarch, ie. Queen Elizabeth II (until now she was the only member of the royal family to have a Canadian standard). Charles will one day be King of Canada and would've received his own Canadian flag eventually, so would William.
This is all explained in the articles I've posted above.
The Governor General's website also has more on the royal tour and the three royal flags (the Queen's, Prince Charles and William's): The Governor General of Canada > 2011 Royal Tour
The way things stand, only the monarch (present or future) get their own flags. Consorts don't. So I doubt Catherine will get one.
Humera,
I do appreciate your effort to answer my question. So, both princes are only receiving this honor from the Canadian govt simply because both are future monarchs of the United Kingdom.
Most people work very hard most of their lives to receive any honor, and just simply, most never never do. So again, what very efforted jobs were done to receive the honor? 'Just because they are future monarchs,' or words that basically mean the same thing, is not a reason. What efforts, not just ceremonial, has either prince performed or carried out in Canada's honor to deserve such a 'gift?'
