Prince Charles and Camilla touring Canada

Britain's Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall began an 11-day tour of Canada Monday. The coast-to-coast tour will take in 12 cities.

While Charles, 60, has visited Canada 15 times, the trip is a first for his wife, Camilla.

Prince Charles has described the trip as a chance to meet as "many Canadians as possible" but a recent opinion poll showed that a large majority of Canadians are apathetic about the visit.

Just one in five people said they would make an effort to see Prince Charles "if he was nearby."

So why the 11-day trip to a country that is lukewarm to the visit?

Perhaps it’s because Charles need something to do while waiting for his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to die so he can begin his life’s work.
