CHARLES
AND
DIANA
VISIT
CANADA Hardback Book with Dust Jacket by David Levenson and Trevor Hall Over 140 pages loaded with photos First published 1983 by Collin Publishers © 1983 Illustrations and text: Colour Library Books Ltd. " Canada became the third Commonwealth nation to experience what every country covets, when on 14th June 1983 the Prince and Princess of Wales landed at Halifax, Nova Scotia to begin a 17-day tour among the Canadian people.
Long-planned, eagerly-awaited, the visit called forth national and provincial hospitality offered with sincerity, warmth and a meticulous attention to detail.
From formal duties in Ottawa to imaginative, delights in the Maritime Provinces, the Canadians displayed the finest expression of pride in their country and welcome to their guests. " " No-one attempted to conceal that Princess Diana was the star attraction:
Prince Charles made speeches showing that he was well aware of that.
Excited by her almost legendary reputation, and her popular triumphs in Britain and Australasia, they fairly flocked to see her.
She amply rewarded their enthusiasm feeling ever more confident and unquestionably at home among friends, she warmed with evident delight to successive displays of overwhelming affection.
In the process she won hundreds of thousands of hearts, including those of political leaders who openly admitted the effect of her charm. " " Primarily a visit to celebrate anniversaries, it quickly became a celebration in itself - two and a half weeks of sheer goodwill which will long be remembered as setting a trend for a new, informal, essentially young style of royal tour. " The book is in very good condition with some minor edgewear to the cover.
The dust jacket has some wear and a few tears.
