With Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, having stopped by to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee, we look back at British princes and kings from the NY Times Canadian Photo Archive. Here, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are greeted by Prime Minister Mackenzie King as they arrive in Canada for a Royal Visit in May 1939. The King, whom we all now know was called Bertie by his family thanks to the Academy Award-winning film The King's Speech, was not expected to take the throne.
