The Earl and Countess of Wessex to Visit Saskatchewan

Released on June 2, 2016

Sovereign’s Son and Daughter-in-law to visit the provincial capital and celebrate the Globe Theatre’s 50th Anniversary 

Today, Premier Brad Wall announced that Their Royal Highnesses The Earl and Countess of Wessex will visit the provincial capital from June 22 to 24.

“I am pleased to welcome Their Royal Highnesses to our great province,” Wall said.  “Saskatchewan continues to have a special relationship with Canada’s Royal Family and it is an honour to again celebrate our longstanding ties with this working visit.”

While in Saskatchewan, The Earl and Countess will visit locations within the City of Regina and surrounding area in addition to attending the Globe Theatre’s 50th Anniversary Gala.  Further program details will be announced closer to the visit dates.

This will be The Earl’s 38th visit to Canada and sixth visit to Saskatchewan.  It will be The Countess’ first visit to the province.

The Earl first visited Saskatchewan in 1978 with his parents, Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh, followed by individual visits in 1994, 2003, 2006 and 2014.

Visits from members of Canada’s Royal Family are an opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life, and bring value to the function of our constitutional monarchy.

Saskatchewan’s first royal visit occurred in 1882, when Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Louise visited with her husband The Marquis of Lorne, Canada’s Governor General.  The visit was highlighted by the naming of Regina after her mother.
