CANADA, United States (Reuters) — Britain’s Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, arrived in Canada on Saturday (September 24) for their second official visit to the country.
The royal couple have brought their children, three-year-old Prince George and one-year-old Princess Charlotte, on the week-long trip.
They were welcomed to Canada by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a military airport in the western province of British Columbia.
Holding on to his parents’ hands, Prince George walked down the steps of the plane when they arrived, while Princess Charlotte was cradled by her mother.
William and Kate were scheduled to attend a ceremony at British Columbia’s legislature with full military honours, including a 21-gun salute, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
William is the second in line to succeed his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, who is also Canada’s head of state.
The royal couple are expected to travel the country to attend more than 30 engagements, including meetings with aboriginal communities.
Their visit is scheduled to end on October 1.
