Prince William and Kate Middleton joined a Sunday morning prayer service with 200 sailors on board the Canadian frigate HMCS Montreal as they continued their royal tour.
Having spent the night on board the HMCS Montreal in the captain’s quarters, the couple participated in an interdenominational prayer service that lasted 45 minutes.
During the service, prayers were given for the Queen as well as for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Following prayers for the Commonwealth and the armed forces, the royal couple joined in on the French hymn “Je Louerai L’Eternel”, which means, “Praise, I Will Praise You Lord”.
More than 1,000 supporters greeted the Duke and Duchess as they made their way to visit an organisation that works with at-risk youth called Maison Dauphine.
Just as the royal couple was met by protesters on Saturday as they visited a children’s hospital, they were once again confronted by up to 200 protesters angry at Canada’s remaining ties to the British monarchy.
As the couple met children from the centre, the Duke told them: “Don't ever let people put you down – because a prince looks up to you.”
According to People Magazine, one of those showing the royal couple around the centre, Marie-Pier, reported: “People told Kate that she would never be married to William because she wasn't of royalty, but they fought for their love and are strong.
“A lot of the youngsters here are told the same thing – that you'll never do anything with your life. Here at Maison Dauphine, we tell people to fight for dreams and fight for yourself.”
