The royal couple shook hands with the various dignitaries who lined up to greet them at Pearson International Airport, before they waved goodbye and boarded their plane to Victoria.

Earlier in the day, the royals experienced the smells and sounds of country life as they opened the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.

A horse-drawn carriage brought the couple into Ricoh Coliseum, where they took a quick loop around waving to the crowd. 

Once the carriage dropped them off at a podium, the prince declared: "Ladies and gentleman, nothing could give me greater pleasure than to declare the 87th Royal Agricultural Winter Fair officially open."

Charles was wearing a grey suit and Camilla sported a long blue coat, complete with a diamond broach.

And when asked about Toronto, the prince told 680News he found it "splendid."

At the fair, Charles took a look at the livestock and prized pumpkins, while Camilla checked out the Canadian-bred horses.

The event gave Royal watchers a chance to get up close and personal, since the stadium only holds a few thousand people.   Those who showed up between 8:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. on Friday got in for free.

This woman said "It was awesome, I got to shake both of their hands."

Officials at the fair gave the prince a gift of Canadian honey and maple syrup and Camilla received a riding saddle for her grandchildren.

The fair runs from Friday, Nov. 6 to Sunday, Nov. 15. For more information on the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, click here.

After the fair, Charles visited the Evergreen Brick Works, a project seeking to bring nature to Canada's cities.

And following their British Columbia stops, the couple will visit Montreal and Ottawa, where they will end their tour Nov. 12.

The 11-day trip is their first visit to Canada as a married couple.
