Canadian Royal watchers have been celebrating the birth of His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge this week and our Prime Minister has announced some special gifts for the new Royal Heir, straight from Canada.
On Thursday, PM Stephen Harper revealed the Government of Canada’s official gifts for Prince William and Duchess Kate’s first born! “We are pleased to announce a donation to a Canadian child-focused charity to mark the birth of Prince George, and to offer a Canadian-handcrafted blanket, reflective of our country’s rich and diverse culture,” says the Canadian Leader. “These gifts symbolize our warm ties to our Royal Family, honouring our close and enduring relationship.”
The $100,000 donation will go to a Canadian charity – to be revealed at a later date – that supports initiatives to improve children’s lives.
Baby Prince George will also receive some very special personal gifts from PM Harper and Mrs. Laureen Harper, including Canadian children’s books in English and French which have received the Governor General’s Literacy Awards.
“Once again, I would like to offer congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple on the arrival of their first child,” says PM Harper.
