Prince George: Family Itinerary and Princess Charlotte

prince george: Kensington Palace released full details of the family itinerary on Monday, including a long list of engagements in B.C. and Yukon, particularly for Prince William and his wife Kate, who are scheduled to go fishing and bear watching, according to Brandon Sun. The family will spend the first full day of their trip in Vancouver at a civic welcome before visiting the Downtown Eastside charity Sheway, which helps mothers fighting addiction. Princess Charlotte will be 16 months old when she and three-year-old Prince George begin a week-long trip starting Sept. 24 in Victoria, where they will be based."The fact that where they've chosen to take their daughter for the first time outside their humble abode, that pretty special," said Monique Goffinet Miller, chairwoman of the Victoria branch of the Monarchist League of Canada. The couple also plans to stop at the newly reopened Kitsilano coast guard station and at the Immigration Services Society of B.C., where they'll meet with staff and volunteers who help thousands of migrants moving to Canada each year."These are not things you'd generally see world leaders even doing," Goffinet Miller said, adding the couple itinerary speaks to their charitable and social justice efforts."They're a royal couple, born into the position and affluence of it, but they've chosen to do something with it that actually serves the people."In addition to trips to Bella Bella and the Great Bear Rainforest, the royal couple is also scheduled to spend a day in Kelowna before flying to Whitehorse on Sept. 27. Before leaving the islands of Haida Gwaii off the northern coast of B.C., the royals will travel in a traditional Haida canoe, open a hospital and experience some world-class fishing on the waters of Hecate Strait. The announcement of the itinerary came on the same day B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced the Great Bear Rainforest has been named as Canada commitment to the Queen Commonwealth Canopy, part of a network of forest conservation initiatives involving all 53 countries of the Commonwealth.
