Prince William and his new bride Kate Middleton began their Canadian tour yesterday in Ottawa.  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are visiting in an effort to strengthen bonds between our friends to the north and the monarchy.

The royal couple also met with young volunteers from across Canada at a barbecue reception in Ottawa's Rideau Hall.
