William and Kate’s itinerary for their tour of Prince Edward Island has just recently been disclosed to The Globe and Mail.  According to a source, the Royal couple will be visiting a number of sites, including the famous Dalvay By The Sea resort, which was featured in both the Anne of Green Gables films and Road to Avonlea as the White Sands Hotel!

Here is a look at their reported schedule for PEI:

They arrive on the evening of July 3 in Charlottetown – the island’s capital city.  The next day they will go to Province House, which is the birthplace of Canada’s formation and the seat of the island’s provincial legislature since 1847. 

Next, they are meeting with The Confederation Centre Young Company, which is comprised of a group of young actors that are debuting their latest musical, The Talking Stick, on Canada Day.  The play recreates the story of the country’s First Nations people and involves First Nations students and Aboriginal actors from each province and territory across the country.  It is still not known whether the actors will perform for the Duke and Duchess or just meet them.

Then, Kate and William will visit the seaside resort Dalvay By The Sea, which has a very rich history.  And according to the Globe’s source, the actor and actress who play Gilbert and Anne in Charlottetown’s production of the Anne of Green Gables musical will be at the hotel to greet the couple.

After that, they're flying by helicopter over Green Gables in Cavendish and then land in Summerside, where they were will see a search and rescue demonstration  Prince William is a search and rescue pilot in the RAF.  And as a wedding present to the couple, Canada made a donation to the Coast Guard Auxiliary and gave William and Kate hiking gear.

We’ll keep you updated on any future details!

    You sure are right Davinia. I've loved watching the news of the royal couple, and when I read they we're flying past Green Gables I really was sad they didn't get to see it on ground.

    Such a shame Kate didn't get to see lovely Green Gables and walk Anne's paths. I was there last June and it is so beautiful and peaceful.
