The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall in Canada

This is the 15th visit to Canada for Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne. For his wife, Camilla, it is her first official visit to her ancestral homeland. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is the great-great-great-granddaughter of Sir Alan MacNab, the former prime minister of the united Province of Canada.

The Royal couple is visiting Canada from November 2-12. Their itinerary includes a stop at the 2010 Olympic Village in Vancouver as well as a tour of Dundurn Castle in Hamilton, Ontario, built in 1835 for Camilla’s great-great-great-grandfather. On Friday, they paid a visit to the Royal Winter Agricultural Show in Toronto, where Camilla stopped to pet a show dog.
