The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as working royals four years ago
Princess Kate and Prince William have lost a contest to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, according to a staunch monarchist.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have performed two huge royal tours in Canada, however, an official has alluded that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are seen as being closer to the Commonwealth country.
Staunch monarchist Garry Toffoli, the Executive Director of the Canadian Royal Heritage Trust, said he and many other Canadians have a strong connection to the Sussexes.
He said: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have maintained a closer connection to Canada than have the Prince and Princess of Wales.”

Meghan, 43, lived in Toronto for several years before she began dating Prince Harry.
She lived in the Canadian city whilst filming Suits, a TV drama where she played paralegal Rachel Zane.
Toffoli told The Express that an overwhelming majority of Canadians supported the Sussexes’ decision four years ago.

He added: “Canadians remember that the problems regarding the Sussexes began when the Palace (wrongly, I believe) prevented them from living in Canada with royal security and carrying out part-time royal duties.
“The overwhelming majority of Canadians supported the Sussexes’ plans at the time. In one poll in early 2020 over 60 per cent wanted Prince Harry to become the next Governor General of Canada.”
Prince Harry and Meghan originally settled in Vancouver Island, before fleeing to the US in March 2020.
The Royal Family thwarted the duke and duchess’s plans to take on semi-official roles at the Sandringham Summit.

The couple visited British Columbia and Yukon at the invitation of President Justin Trudeau, and brought Prince George and Princess Charlotte for the trip.
Kate and William also travelled to Canada in 2011 shortly after their royal wedding.
