But, it was not until October 2002 when the term "Canadian Royal Family" was first used publicly and officially by one of its members: in a speech to the Nunavut legislature at its opening, Queen Elizabeth II stated: "I am proud to be the first member of the Canadian Royal Family to be greeted in Canada's newest territory.
Первой, кто использовал это выражение, была королева Елизавета II во время речи по случаю начала первой легислатуры территории Нунавут: «"I am proud to be the first member of the Canadian Royal Family to be greeted in Canada’s newest territory"» (Я рада быть первым членом Канадской королевской семьи, принятым в этой новой территории Канады).
