Royal children to accompany Prince William, Kate to B.C. for visit

The Royal visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to B.C. this month will include Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Kensington Palace has now confirmed what Vanity Fair reported last month, that Prince William and Kate will be bringing along three-year-old Prince George and one-year-old Princess Charlotte.

This will be the Royal couple’s second visit to Canada. Their first Royal Tour was conducted in late June and early July 2011, when they visited Ontario, Montréal, Québec City, Charlottetown, Summerside, Yellowknife, Slave Lake and Calgary.
