Not all Canadians are interested in giving William and Kate the royal welcome during their nation-wide tour.
An anti-monarchist group in Quebec is planning to protest the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's royal visit when they arrive in the province on Sunday.
Around 300 protesters with The Quebecois Network of Resistance (RRQ), a hard line separatist group, plan to gather at Quebec City Hall to protest Canada's ties with the British Crown.
RRQ spokesperson Julien Gaudreau said his group represents Quebecers who want to rid themselves of any ties to the British monarchy, adding that the rally is not a personal attack against the royal newlyweds.
"As tourists, they're more than welcome in Quebec," Gaudreau told Â鶹´«Ã½ Channel.
"But as long as they want to hold a title or pretend to have any authority in Quebec…they are not welcome."
In 2009, members of the RRQ delayed a military ceremony in Montreal attended by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. The royals were forced to duck into military barracks for safety.
Despite the organization's tense past with the royals, Gaudreau maintains that the RRQ's rally will be peaceful.
"We hold the right to protest so we hope to be visible on the site," he said.
If the RRQ's rally happens as planned, it'll coincide with the royal couple attending a ceremony meant to showcase the relationship between the Royal 22nd Regiment, Canada's best-known Francophone military regiment, and Quebec City.
The royal couple plans to head to Charlottetown after their Quebec visit. Twenty-four hours later they will be in the Northwest Territories before finishing the tail end of their Canadian tour in Calgary.
