This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Royal Bank of Canada reported an 11-per-cent rise in quarterly profit and raised its dividend, driven by a bounce-back quarter from its capital markets arm and strong results from retail banking.

RBC earned $3.51-billion, or $2.40 per share, compared with $3.17-billion, or $2.15 a share, a year ago. On average, analysts expected earnings per share of $2.26, or adjusted EPS of $2.30, according to data from Refinitiv.The bank raised its quarterly dividend by three cents, or 3 per cent, to $1.08 per share.

Earning from RBC's core Canadian retail banking operations increased 7 per cent to $1.69-billion, as loans increased by 7 per cent and deposits by 9 per cent. The bank's residential mortgage leading also increased by nearly 9 per cent. The strong performance, especially in capital markets and investment banking, also drove bonuses and stock-based pay higher. RBC's total expenses increased 8 per cent to $6.38-billion, compared with a year earlier. But stripping out performance pay, expenses would have risen only 3 per cent, according to the bank. Revenue rose nearly 11 per cent to $12.84-billion.

Prince Harry, Meghan may lose right to use the word ‘royal’ in their brandingThe couple agreed last month with the Queen that they would no longer work as royals after their surprise announcement that they wanted to carve out ‘a progressive new role’ which they hope to finance themselves Even so, I don't think it would matter to them, as their names bespeak it, whatever they choose to do. That's the most offensive part. If they don't stand with Wetsuweten asap, as far as I'm concerned they can pack it back and bye
