Quebec protests at Prince's visit

Advertisement

Anti-monarchy protesters tried to disrupt a visit by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall to Quebec on Tuesday, as they continued their 11-day tour of Canada.

Prince Charles was scheduled to participate in a ceremony at a Montreal regiment, to present new colours to the officers.

Quebec separatists pelted soldiers at the regiment with eggs, delaying the scheduled royal visit. Some protesters sat in the street chanting as members of the police riot squad looked on.
