William, Kate bring young prince, princess on Canada trip

Aside from breaking traditions, Kate Middleton and Prince William are also slammed for their lavish lifestyles, not to mention their apparent laziness when it comes to fulfilling their royal obligations and responsibilities.

Will and Kate have a busy schedule of outdoorsy, charity and photogenic engagements in B.C. and in Yukon, but George and Charlotte will remain in Victoria (the quaintly English capital of British Columbia, named for their regal ancestor) at Government House with their nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.

Kate knows this and that’s why she’s expecting a team of assistants to serve her hand and foot while they are in Canada.

The trip is Prince William’s second to the Pacific Coast province of British Columbia.
