May 18, 2022 | 2:05 AM

OTTAWA — Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will attend a service at Ottawa’s Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral today as they visit the national capital.

After the prayer service, the royal couple is scheduled to meet with a displaced Ukrainian woman and her two sons. 

The second day of the royal tour also includes stops at the National War Memorial, a local school and a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Prince Charles and Camilla’s final event of the day is a Platinum Jubilee reception at Rideau Hall.  

Métis National Council President Cassidy Caron has said she intends to use that occasion to make a request for an apology from the Queen for the legacy of residential schools.

The three-day tour began in St. John’s, N.L., with a focus on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
