List of royal tours of Canada (18th–20th centuries)

There was an extended royal presence in Canada through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, either as an official tour, a vacation, a period of military service, or a viceregal posting by a member of the Monarchy of Canada#Canada's royal family and house, Royal Family. Originally, Royal tours of Canada by the Canadian Royal Family, royal tours of Canada were events predominantly for Canadians to see and possibly meet members of their Royal Family, with the associated patriotic pomp and spectacle. However, nearing the end of the 20th century, such occasions took on the added dimension of a theme, and junior members of the Royal Family began to undertake unofficial "working" tours of Canada as well; in this method, royal figures are invited by provinces, municipalities, and other organizations to events which the latter fund without assistance from the federal government. Charles, Prince of Wales, The Prince of Wales, Anne, Princess Royal, The Princess Royal, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, The Duke of York and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, The Prince Edward, have all made several small tours in this fashion. These arrangements then List of royal tours of Canada (21st century), continued on into the 21st century.
