At least the royal family is a source of almost endless entertainment. Though I will admit reading and watching the coverage of the trials of the most recent ex-president is also a fine source of humour.
I could mention that many of the royal names are from British, French, German, etc. royals and nobility.
Specific to Canada, which royal names are you referring to? Montréal? Victoria? Prince George? Prince Rupert? New Brunswick? Queen Charlotte Islands (now know as Haida Gwaii)? Plus a slew of others.
Ohh... York? Jersey? Georgia? Louisiana? Carolina? Virginia? Maryland? Charleston? Orleans? San Luis Rey? plus a whack of others.
Oooppss... Sorry, those are American place names from royals and nobility.
In Canada, His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, in the USA, filthy pinko communists.
