The visit of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, to Canada this year, is expected to cost the Canadian taxpayers more than $500,000.

The travel expenses documents were published by the Department of Canadian Heritage.  The published costs do not reveal the costs by federal departments and agencies, nor do they take into consideration the security costs.

The last two “royal” visits ended up raping Canadian taxpayers of more than $1 million for each visit.  The 2011 visit by Prince William and Kate Middleton cost the taxpayers more than $1.2 million.  The 2010 visit by Queen Elizabeth cost taxpayers $2.8 million!
