Prince William and Kate's Tour of Canada

As previously announced The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate will be going on their first official tour Canada together from 30th June to 8th July 2011. It will also be their first official trip abroad since the Royal Wedding on 29th April 2011.

Although the full itinerary won't be announced until the start of the tour an outline schedule has been confirmed outlining where the Royal couple will visit in Canada. The basic schedule is as follows:

  • 30th June to 2nd July 2011 - The National Capital Region which includes Ottawa, Ontario, Gatineau and Quebec
  • 2nd July 2011 - Montreal, Quebec
  • 3rd July 2011 - Quebec City, Quebec
  • 3rd July to 4th July 2011 - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
  • 4th July 2011 - Summerside, Prince Edward Island
  • 4th July to 6th July 2011 - Yellowknife, Northwest Territories
  • 6th July to 8th July 2011 - Calgary, Alberta

This will be the third time William has been to Canada and the first time that Kate has been. From the 8th July to 10th July 2011 William and Kate will then visit California in the USA.

William and Kate choose Canada for first overseas visit

For their first official trip abroad as a married couple, Kate and Wills have decided to bypass Las Vegas, Celebration, Florida and America's other cultural wonders in favor of Ottawa. The Canadian government began lobbying for the honor early.

Canada Post To Honour William & Kate

A month after saying it wouldn't celebrate the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton with a commemorative stamp, Canada Post has reversed course.
The Canadian mail service said in a statement that it will issue two stamps to mark the royal wedding. According to the Toronto Sun, this will be Canada Post's first stamp related to a royal wedding since it featured then-Princess Elizabeth a few months after her 1947 marriage to Prince Philip.
