Prince William, Princess Kate and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte have touched down for their first tour as a family of four.

Their Royal Canadian Air Force jet landed in Victoria, British Columbia, on Saturday afternoon. At one point, Charlotte could be seen peeking out of a plane window. After deplaning, the family met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Trudeau and other dignitaries before heading to Victoria for the rest of their royal duties.

Kate wore a royal blue Jenny Packham suit with a matching hat and Queen Elizabeth II\'s diamond maple leaf brooch. Charlotte, meanwhile, wore a light blue dress with a matching bow in her hair as she was carried by Kate.

William and Kate both held George\'s hands as the deplaned. George wore a blue sweater and shorts with knee socks.

For William and Kate, the week-long visit is a perfect opportunity to introduce their children to a major Commonwealth realm before school schedules "make these things difficult later on," their spokesman said at a pre-tour briefing.

The family will be based at Government House in Victoria, and the couple – in what aides call a "hub and spoke" model – will head out from there for visits before returning at the end of the day.  (There is one exception when the couple goes to Yukon for one night, leaving the children with nanny Maria Turrion Borrallo, who is a key member of the couple\'s 12-strong entourage.)

The royal parents have a jam-packed schedule with than 30 engagements, meaning Kate has had to pack a a suitcase full of carefully chosen looks.

They hope to take George and Charlotte to at least outing –  most likely to be a children\'s party for military families on Thursday. "A group of military families have been invited to share what should be a really lovely morning with plenty of surprises for the children," the couple\'s spokesman said at the palace briefing.

The tour, which is expected to be mostly casual and sporty – watch for mountain scenes and even fishing! – will see them take in everything from "the bustling global city of Vancouver to the remote and beautiful Bella Bella, home to less than 2,000 people," their spokesman explained. "Along the way they will meet as many Canadians as possible, and will help celebrate Canada\'s First Nations communities, its arts and culture, pristine and beautiful environment, and its compassionate and innovative charitable sector."

Soon after landing today, as George and Charlotte settle in for the night, the royal couple will head to British Columbia\'s Parliament Buildings, where they will officially open their tour by paying respects at Victoria\'s Cenotaph and will unveil a new plaque paying tribute to the veterans of Canada\'s involvement in the Afghanistan conflict.

At the time, the official welcome to Canada will be made with an honor guard, with crowds of well-wishers expected on Victoria\'s waterfront close-by.

This will be William and Kate\'s "chance to say hello to the people of Canada just hours after touching down in the country," the spokesman said at the briefing.

This is the couple\'s second major tour of the year, following their visit to India and Bhutan in April. And the travel isn\'t over yet – Kate is off to the Netherlands for a day next month, while William heads to Vietnam in November.
