British royals learn about the history of the Yukon in Canada

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continued their tour of Canada on Wednesday (September 28) with a visit to the MacBride Museum of Yukon History in Whitehorse.

The Queen and Duke of Duke of Edinburgh visited the same museum back in 1959 when it was a telegraph office.

After visiting the Museum, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge watched children sing songs.

The royal couple were cheered by big crowds as they made their way through downtown Whitehorse as they attended the community festival that featured displays and performances by local groups.

The Duke and Duchess left Yukon for Victoria where they will continue with their tour of Canada where a children’s tea party with Prince George and Princess Charlotte is in their schedule.
