The Prince of Wales in Canada - the Orangemen's Arch at Toronto, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Prince of Wales in Canada - the Orangemen's Arch at Toronto, 1860. The future King Edward VII in North America. The outburst of Orangeism in Upper Canada led...to several unpleasant results, and was the means of preventing the Prince of Wales landing at Kingston and Belleville...After a correspondence of some length between the Mayor of Toronto and the Duke of Newcastle, the Orangemen, however, gave way, and the Prince made a triumphal entry. But, in spite of the engagement entered into by the Orangemen, and under which solemn promise alone the Prince was induced to land, the Orange arch was decorated with offensive emblems and paintings - bearing an Orange flag and a portrait of King William III. It was thought that the Prince, in consequence, would refuse to receive the Mayor and Council at the levee; but, after an apology from the Mayor, his Royal Highness gave permission for their presentation. Notwithstanding the stumbling-block thrown in the way of the Prince by injudicious over-zeal in the matter of the Orange arch, his Royal Highness met at Toronto with a reception, upon the whole, worthy of the place and of the loyal character for which the city, as well as the province at large, is deservedly celebrated'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
