Will & Kate in Canada, Ottawa and Montreal, Prince Albert of Monaco Weds



Prince William and Kate's visit to Ottawa during Canada Day was attended by an estimated 300,000 and the trend continued with a concertwith Kate still wearing the diamond maple leaf loaned to Kate by Queen Elizabeth II.




The couple unveiled an Augustus John war memorial mural at the Canadian War Museum.






The couple then left for Montreal where the schedule included a visit to a hospital and the presence of a small but vocal group of protesters, that reports say were drowned out as well as grossly outnumbered by supporters.  This evening the pair attended a cooking class presented by Quebec’s top hotel and cooking school, the Institut de Tourisme et d’hôtellerie du Québec.

At 9:55 the couple leave on the HMCS Montreal for a trip down the St. Lawrence Seaway to Quebec City.

In other royal news, Prince Albert Grimaldi of Monaco, son of the late actress Grace Kelley, wed his long time girlfriend Charlene Wittstock of South Africa in a typically European royal wedding in contrast to Prince William and Kate's smaller ceremony.  Many more guests, etc. As one attendee said..."If you had a choice of London or Monaco for a royal wedding to attend...which would you choose?"
