La Banque Royale du Canada (RBC) est une institution financière multinationale canadienne offrant une large gamme de services financiers, incluant les services bancaires aux particuliers et aux entreprises, la gestion de patrimoine, les marchés des capitaux et l'assurance.

Le marché obligataire a récemment enregistré la pleine maturité et le remboursement intégral d'une obligation clé, identifiée par le code ISIN US78008SWS12 et le code CUSIP 78008SWS1, un instrument de dette libellé en dollars américains et émis par la Royal Bank of Canada, une institution financière canadienne de premier plan reconnue mondialement. Cette obligation se distinguait par un taux d'intérêt annuel de 2,25%, versé semestriellement (fréquence de paiement de 2), et dont la maturité était fixée au 15 mars 2024, date à laquelle elle a été honorée à 100% de sa valeur nominale après avoir été initialement accessible avec une taille minimale d'achat de 1 000 unités. L'émetteur de ce titre, la Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), est non seulement l'une des plus grandes banques du Canada par capitalisation boursière, mais également un acteur international majeur, ancré au Canada et exerçant une influence considérable sur les marchés financiers mondiaux à travers ses divers segments d'activité, incluant la banque de détail et d'entreprise, la gestion de patrimoine, l'assurance et les marchés des capitaux, ce qui souligne sa solidité financière et sa réputation. La conclusion de ce cycle de vie obligataire, par son remboursement effectif et complet, confirme la rigueur de la Royal Bank of Canada dans l'exécution de ses engagements financiers, renforçant ainsi la confiance des investisseurs dans la qualité de ses émissions de dette sur les marchés internationaux.

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.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

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.

We may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, RBC Capital Markets, LLC or another of our affiliates may use this pricing
supplement in a market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. Unless we or our agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the
