Royal family entitled to ‘extraordinary’ membership in the Order of Canada

I have a story up on the PostMedia wire service today, that looks at the changes made to the constitutions of the Order of Canada and the Order of Military Merit in order to allow for the members of the royal family to become members of these Orders, despite not being Canadian citizens. It was a bit of a crazy day to write this story, with the royal baby fever going on and all of the usual royal commentators otherwise occupied and Rideau Hall's media office being short-staffed, but I managed to make my deadline (just barely), and got a pretty good story out of it in the end.
