Our true Canadian pride and spirit will shine and be at the very heart of this visit so they can feel at home.”
At Kensington Palace, a spokesman said the couple is “delighted” to be returning to Canada.
“They hold very happy memories from their visit in 2011, their first overseas tour as a married couple,” the spokesman said in a statement. “They are really looking forward to seeing other parts of this beautiful country and having the opportunity to meet many more Canadians along the way.”
