Cambridges touch down in Canada

Cambridges touch down in Canada

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in Canada with their children, five years after they visited the country as newly-weds, BBC reported.

The couple, along with Prince George, three, and 16-month-old Princess Charlotte, were greeted by Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire after landing in Victoria.

William said his children were starting a "lifetime of friendship" with Canada.

The trip is Charlotte's first official royal visit.

Later, in Victoria, the duke addressed a crowd of thousands outside the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, saying: "When we were here last time, we had been married only three months.

"The warm welcome that you gave us at that important moment in our lives meant a lot to us - and we have never forgotten it.

"That is why we are so pleased that George and Charlotte can be with us in Canada this time round, beginning their own lifetime of friendship with this wonderful country."

The royal couple also attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the cenotaph in Victoria, as part of a service to honour the 158 Canadian service personnel who died during the War in Afghanistan.

On their eight-day visit their official engagements will include visiting pregnant women struggling with addiction and meeting First Nations communities.

Canada, a federation of former British colonies, is part of the Commonwealth with Queen Elizabeth as its head of state.

Their visit has been highly anticipated in Canada.
