His Mother’s Footsteps

It was the summer of 1983 when Prince Charles and Princess Diana came to Ottawa. When Prince William arrives in Ottawa on Thursday with his wife Princess Catherine, Prince William will have been well briefed about that tour — his mother’s first trip to Canada — and the phenomenal impact Princess Diana had when most everyone assumed they were observing the next Queen. At 21, Princess Diana was already a mother, although Prince William, approaching his first birthday, was left with nannies back in London.

Prince William and Princess Catherine have an unusual amount of free time built into Prince William and Princess Catherine's official agenda, which suggests that Prince William and Princess Catherine either have private outings planned or will be surprising the huge trailing press corps and public with some impromptu public activities.
