Looking forward to the quick tour. I do not think C&C have been to Canada since 2014.

They visited in 2017 for the 150th anniversary of confederation.

I hope the Duchess packs her winter coats; Whitehorse and Yellowknife are cold unless there's a heatwave.

Some more details of the tour have been released by Clarence House today, April 26:

That's a lot of travelling over only three days, oof. But at least they will do it in more comfort than us proles

That is a very busy schedule, with a lot packed into three days. C&C will also end up spending a fair amount of time flying between the different locations. expect William and Catherine will make another trip to Canada in the next few years.

Newfoundland was a late comer to Canada of course. And I understand that they retain a distinct culture along with a unique dialect/accent. They sound Irish/English West Country to me. Lovely accent! Are attitudes to the monarchy the same among Newfoundlanders as with other Anglo Canadians?

Here are two more videos of day 1 today:

My local news channel ran a piece about the visit with a headline that included 'Prince Charles and Lady Camilla'.

You'd think someone in the editing room could spare ten seconds to verify titles and styles, but apparently not...

Unfortunately, I often see royal titles being used incorrectly, especially by people from outside the UK. Particularly jarring to me is the use of "Duchess Camilla" or "Duchess Meghan"!

Was the Prince of Wales already a Companion of the more senior Order of Canada?

Here's a video from today's visit to the Canada's National War Memorial

 

[Prinsara]

Was the Prince of Wales already a Companion of the more senior Order of Canada?

Yes. He was wearing the OC pin in his lapel in the video of the visit to N&L yesterday, and I don't imagine they'd have the Prince of Wales as a mere member.

Hardly surprising. Although most Canadians are now indifferent to the monarchy, (English) Canada is still probably the most loyal Commonwealth realm.
