Canadians were thrilled when Prince William and Kate traveled across the country as newlyweds five years ago. Now, they will get a glimpse of the couple’s young children, Charlotte and George, as they travel overseas for the first time as a family of four.
The trip to Canada on Saturday marks the first official overseas jaunt for 1-year-old Princess Charlotte. Her older brother Prince George, 3, is an old hand at royal travel, having already visited Australia and New Zealand on an official tour.
While the public will only see the children once at the departure on Oct. 1 and the media will only see the kids a few times during an eight-day visit, Canadians are excited about seeing them.
“That brings an extra level of excitement to the visit,” Victoria Monarchist League of Canada member Bruce Hallsor said.
As newlyweds for their first official trip as a couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge won raucous cheers and endeared themselves to Canadian crowds with a skillful mix of royal pomp and playful informality. On this visit the royals will visit British Columbia and the Yukon after accepting an invitation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who will host them this weekend along with his wife Sophie.
While Australia, Jamaica and Barbados have talked about becoming republics, there is less debate in Canada about replacing Queen Elizabeth II as the figurative head of state. Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, but most have great affection for the queen, whose silhouette marks their coins, as well as her grandsons and Kate.
The trip is Prince William’s second to the Pacific Coast province of British Columbia.
