“Our relationship with the Royal Family provides Canadians with an opportunity to learn more about our constitutional monarchy, which is the pillar of our system of government,” said Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages in a statement. “The 2014 Royal Tour of Their Royal Highnesses will not only highlight Canada’s achievements and our shared heritage, but will also look to the future of Canada and how we will continue together to build a country that is the envy of the world.”
Governor General David Johnston announced the royal tour on his official Twitter account in January.
The tour will be the 17th visit to Canada for the Prince of Wales and the third for the duchess.
