The couple were welcomed by Canada’s High Commissioner to the UK Janice Charette, and signed a visitors’ book in the lobby of the building overlooking Trafalgar Square to mark the start of their visit.
Commonwealth Day is traditionally marked by a service which the duke and duchess will attend at Westminster Abbey with the Queen, other senior royals and figures from national life.
In her message to mark Commonwealth Day the head of state has praised how the family of nations inspires its member states to find ways of protecting the planet and its citizens.
Millions of people are “drawn together” because of the collective values shared by the institution, the Queen said in her address to the 53 countries of the Commonwealth.
