Prince William, Kate to bring children on upcoming Canada tour of B.C., Yukon
VANCOUVER — The royal couple is scheduled for a busy tour of British Columbia and Yukon, with bear watching and fishing included in the itinerary for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are also set to visit Vancouver’s infamous Downtown Eastside.
Full details of their trip have been released by Kensington Palace, which confirms that Prince William and his wife Kate will bring their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, as they arrive on the afternoon of Sept. 24.
“This visit is a chance for the duke and duchess to deepen their relationship with a country that they will visit many times over the course of their lives,” the release says.
The family is to be based in Victoria, but will spend the first full day in Vancouver at a civic welcome downtown before visiting the Downtown Eastside charity Sheway, which helps mothers fighting addiction.
