Royal Family

Canada is a constitutional monarchy with the King as head of state. The Crown holds the power to govern but this power is entrusted to the government, which is expected to lead on behalf of the people. The sovereign reigns by hereditary right — as opposed to the elected head of government — and is one of the three components of Parliament (the Crown, House of Commons and Senate).

Royals in Canada During the Second World War

The Second World War brought royalty from the United Kingdom and continental Europe to Canada for weeks, months and even years at a time. The Earl and Countess of Athlone, the governor general and viceregal consort during the war, were both related to King George VI and hosted royalty who had been displaced by Nazi occupations in Europe at Rideau Hall. These exiled European royals met with resistance fighters and civilians from their homelands and advocated for assistance for their countries from political leaders in Canada and the United States. King George VI’s brothers also visited Canada during the war. There was even a former German prince interned in Quebec prisoner-of-war camps. Here are 16 royals who spent time in Canada during the Second World War.
