No tiara:(

I can understand Charles feeling this way. Ten days is a long trip and Canada is a vast land to visit.
This trip seems to have been a great success! Our Prince and Duchess seem to have been well received and they've made me proud.

Me also.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall stopped by the Norfolk County booth at the Royal Winter Fair last week and checked out the food products on display and spoke with people from Purple Daze Lavender Farm. Travale says a thank-you hamper of Norfolk products will be sent to England.

Now here’s a gift fit for a king – or a prince.

During their visit to Canada last year, Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, were given his-and-hers matching BlackBerrys by Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty. An appropriate gift, given that BlackBerry is a Waterloo, Ont., invention and Research in Motion is a huge success story.

TheSpec.com - Local - Royal flush: Dundurn sees jump in visits

Dundurn Castle saw a big increase in visitors in the wake of the visit by the Prince of Wales and his wife last fall.

The Hamilton landmark had 19,000 visitors during its busy Christmas season this year, compared with 11,000 during the same period in 2008. And curators of the York Boulevard castle say the majority of those visitors wanted to talk with guides about the Nov. 5 visit by Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

The prince and his wife attracted one of their biggest crowds at the castle during an 11-day visit to Canada. About 3,000 people crowded the front lawn of the castle to get a glimpse of the couple.
