Kensington Palace tweeted Monday morning that Prince William and his wife, Kate, will visit Vancouver, Victoria, Bella Bella, Haida Gwaii and Kelowna in British Columbia and Whitehorse and Carcross in Yukon on their visit to Canada. This will be the royal couple’s second visit to Canada. Their first, following their 2011 wedding, took them to Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Charlottetown, Summerside, Yellowknife and Calgary. The then-newlyweds drew large crowds wherever they went, including on Canada Day at Parliament Hill. The visit was seen as a way to engage young Canadians with the monarchy, given the perception that there is waning interest among them.
