Prince Charles And Camilla’s Canadian Trip Praised For Being Successful
Going on royal trips these days is tricky. I mean, we saw how the media reacted to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s tour of the Caribbean.

On the first day, Charles and Camilla were greeted by crowds of flag-waving Canadians when he arrived in Ottawa and inspected the assembled military personnel as the Colonel-in-chief of the Black Watch.
Prince Charles, who holds three honorary military titles in Canada, knows how important it was to get the trip right as Canada was one of the five founding members of the Commonwealth. At one point during the visit, the royal was told to offer an apology as a result of the monarchy’s past with Canada. While he didn’t exactly offer an apology, those asking him to make it accepted his recognition of the failures of the past.
Charles was also asked to get the Queen to issue an apology to the Canadian people, and while he didn’t exactly promise anything, he’s optimistic about developing a stronger relationship with Canada in the future.
During his visit to Canada, he and Camilla visited several places in Canada and brought attention to Canada’s famous sights.
At the end of the day, Prince Charles said that it’s the people of Canada that makes the country as great as it is.
