On Friday, the duke and duchess were guests of honour as they celebrated Canada Day with about 100,000 people in the capital Ottawa.
Events in Ottawa climaxed with a lavish fireworks display.
The duke and duchess were at the heart of this year's celebrations marking the birth of Canada.
The duchess will later experience yet another aspect of her new life when she helps her husband plant a tree in the grounds of Government House in Ottawa.

The vast majority of people here in Quebec are quite indifferent to the visit, but much too polite to be rude to visiting guests, but of course the media have to try to paint events as though there were massive protests:
