ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS

The Notes involve risks not associated with an investment in ordinary fixed rate notes. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the
terms of the Notes. For additional information as to these risks, please see the product prospectus supplement FIN-1 dated January 28, 2011 and the
prospectus supplement dated January 28, 2011. You should careful y consider whether the Notes are suited to your particular circumstances before you
decide to purchase them. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the
Notes and the suitability of the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.

Early Redemption Risk. We have the option to redeem the Notes on the Cal Dates set forth above. It is more likely that we wil redeem the Notes prior
to their stated maturity date to the extent that the interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest that would be payable on our other instruments
of a comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. If the Notes are redeemed prior to their stated maturity date, you may have to
re-invest the proceeds in a lower rate environment.

Investors Are Subject to Our Credit Risk, and Our Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect the Market Value of the Notes.
Investors are dependent on Royal Bank's ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes on the interest payment dates and at maturity, and, therefore,
investors are subject to the credit risk of Royal Bank and to changes in the market's view of Royal Bank's creditworthiness. Any decrease in Royal Bank's
credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Royal Bank's credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of
the Notes.

2011. For additional information as to the relationship between us and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, please see the section "Plan of Distribution--Conflicts
of Interest" in the prospectus dated January 28, 2011.

After the initial offering of the Notes, the price to the public may change. To the extent that the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes being offered
by this pricing supplement is not purchased by investors in the offering, one or more of our affiliates may purchase the unsold portion. However, our
affiliates wil not purchase more than 15% of the principal amount of the Notes. Sales of these Notes by our affiliates could reduce the market price and
the liquidity of the Notes that you purchase.
