VICTORIA (CANADA) - Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate were due to arrive in British Columbia Saturday for an eight-day trip during which they will view spectacular nature sites and meet with refugees and indigenous Americans. Royal fever has taken hold in Victoria, where the provincial parliament has been decorated to welcome the British couple. They will stay at a luxurious Victorian mansion that is the home of the governor general, the queen's representative in Canada. The cost of the trip to British Columbia and the Yukon will be disclosed after it is over. But when the couple visited in 2011, two months after their wedding, the trip cost Canadians 1.2 million Canadian dollars (800,000 euros).
