Prince Edward to visit P.E.I. this month, marking first royal visit in over a decade
The Duke of Edinburgh will visit Prince Edward Island this month, marking the first royal visit to the province in a decade. Prince Edward, who holds the title of colonel-in-chief of the Prince Edward Island Regiment, is scheduled to visit P.E.I. on June 25 to attend celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the regiment, according to the royal calendar. Following his time on P.E.I., the duke will visit Toronto on June 28, before attending Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa. The upcoming trip will be the first royal visit to Prince Edward Island in 10 years. Prince Edward visited the Island in 2015 to mark the Prince Edward Island Regiment's 140th anniversary. King Charles III, then the Prince of Wales, and Queen Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall at the time, toured the Island in the spring of 2014. WATCH | Duke of Edinburgh coming to P.E.I. in June: The last time a member of the Royal Family holding the Duke of Edinburgh title came to P.E.I. was more than 50 years ago. In 1973, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip — the previous Duke of Edinburgh — visited the Island to celebrate the centennial of the province's entry into Confederation.
