Newfoundland and Labrador is to welcome Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, to Newfoundland and Labrador in May as they begin their tour to Canada to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, marking her 70th anniversary on the throne.
“As the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, I am pleased to welcome back Their Royal Highnesses, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, to our beautiful province, in their first official visit to Newfoundland and Labrador since 2009. The Province has a historical connection with the Royal Family, and it is an honour to have Their Royal Highnesses start their tour to Canada in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Royal Tour coincides with a significant provincial celebration as Newfoundlanders and Labradorians welcome family, friends, and newcomers, from around the world, to celebrate and mark Come Home 2022.
We look forward to the opportunity to highlight some of our inspiring community organizations that are contributing to our communities, and increasing our province’s strengths as a place to live, visit, raise a family, get an education, and start or operate a business.
We are excited to offer a warm Newfoundland and Labrador welcome to Their Royal Highnesses, and to share with them the province’s friendly hospitality, rich arts, cultural, and Indigenous traditions, as well as our incredible pride of place.”
A detailed itinerary for the Tour will be released in the coming weeks.
