I think that would be too convenient for me ;) Unless there's something I've missed I thought it's just for those born in Canada, or can you pass it on? His father (from Penzance in UK) was editing an army paper for Canadian troops about 1917, then went to Toronto to work for the Telegram (folded in 1971 when Star and Globe sold a lot more issues!). Charles was born in 1920 and the family moved back to UK when he was aged 3 - couldn't find where he was born, but worked out the Telegram was on Bay and Melinda. Now Melinda St. is shorter and massive office complex and food court sits on the site.

Also the Telegram was very conservative and liked to emphasise Canada as part of "The Empire", very different times indeed. We also don't really think about the Royal Family in the UK except for distracting the poor, and selling tabloids, just ceremonial.
