The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit Canada in the autumn.
Their Royal Highnesses have been invited to visit by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. They will visit British Columbia and the territory of Yukon as part of their tour.
"The Duke and Duchess are delighted to be returning to Canada,” said a spokesperson for Kensington Palace.
“They hold very happy memories from their visit in 2011 — their first overseas tour as a married couple. They are really looking forward to seeing other parts of this beautiful country and having the opportunity to meet many more Canadians along the way."
“Sharon and I will be delighted to welcome Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, to Canada,” said Governor General David Johnston, in a press release.
“Their Royal Tour will take them to the beautiful province of British Columbia and the scenic territory of Yukon. Once again, our true Canadian pride and spirit will shine and be at the very heart of this visit so they can feel at home.”
Further details on the exact dates and itinerary will be issued in due course. The press release doesn't say whether three-year-old Prince George or one-year-old Princess Charlotte will be accompanying their parents to Canada.
This will be the Duke and Duchess's second visit to Canada together. Their first Royal Tour took place June 30 to July 8, 2011, when they visited Canada’s Capital Region, Montréal, Québec City, Charlottetown, Summerside, Yellowknife, Slave Lake and Calgary.
