I have written a guest post for the Royal Universe website about the recent Renaissance of the Canadian monarchy. The article discusses the Diamond Jubilee tour of Canada by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, the impact of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s 2011 tour, Queen Victoria’s significance to Canadian history and changing attitudes toward the monarchy in Canada. I encourage you all to visit the royal universe and read this piece and the other fascinating royal themed blog posts by other contributors to the site.
