QUEBEC – A few hundred Quebec sovereigntists are gathered in Quebec City today to blast the Royal Family as an archaic institution that has no place in the province.
Prince William and Kate are the butt of their scorn as the royals visit city hall for a freedom-of-the-city ceremony.
The protesters are chanting that they want a country.
They are outnumbered, however, by citizens who are lining city streets to get a glimpse of the couple on Day 4 of their trip to Canada.
William and Kate were cheered loudly as they stepped from their vehicle and met with Premier Jean Charest and his wife, Michele Dionne.
Earlier today, William and Kate took part in a prayer service aboard HMCS Montreal.
