On June 23, Prince William’s aunt and uncle will go to the RCMP Heritage Centre for a photo-op, then will stop at Government House for a walkabout on Ceremonial Drive at 2 p.m.

The public is welcomed to join the earl and countess at Government House.

This is the countess’ first official visit to Saskatchewan. Prince Edward has been to the province before.

“Our province and its people have welcomed many members of the royal family over the years, and our connection to Canada’s sovereign remains strong,” Premier Brad Wall said in a statement.

“On behalf of the people of Saskatchewan, welcome to the Earl and Countess of Wessex on this, her very first visit to our province.”
