There has been an extended royal presence in Canada since the end of the 18th century.[1]

Until the end of the 20th century, these were the only forms a royal visit would take, either at the invitation of the federal ministers for an official visit, or for vacation time at the instigation of the Royal Family member. Originally these were simply tours where Canadians could see and possibly meet members of their Royal Family, with the associated pomp and spectacle. However, nearing the 2000s, official royal tours took on the added dimension of a theme; for instance, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's 2005 tour of Saskatchewan and Alberta was deemed a trip where Her Majesty, and all Canadians, would honour "The Spirit of Nation Builders."[2] Also, in the last several years, junior members of the Royal Family have begun to take part in unofficial, working tours of Canada. In this method, provinces, municipalities and others personally invite members of the Royal Family to attend events which they fund without assistance from the federal government. Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward have all taken several tours under this method.
