MOOSE JAW, Sask.\u2014Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, has launched a three-day visit to Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n

He landed at 15 Wing Moose Jaw on Wednesday afternoon and was greeted by Lt.-Gov. Vaughn Solomon Schofield.<\/p>\n

Following a short welcoming ceremony, the prince inspected the parade consisting of members of the Saskatchewan Dragoons and the Royal Canadian Air Force.<\/p>\n

Moose Jaw Mayor Deb Higgins said the prince is \u201calways very personable and willing to meet the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a private function with relatives of military personnel at 15 Wing, Prince Edward travelled to the headquarters of the Saskatchewan Dragoons, of which he is colonel-in-chief.<\/p>\n

Before heading inside for a BBQ with its members, the prince took some time to meet about 100 people from the public that showed up.<\/p>\n

Marion Tolley said it was a great honour to meet a member of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been here before and I never got that close to him before,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe shook my hand and I welcomed him to Moose Jaw,\u201d said Laura Kuntz, who met the Queen years ago in Regina.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s royalty, they don\u2019t come too often. We feel honoured to have come out to see him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The royal visit continues Thursday in Regina with stops on Friday in Saskatoon and Swift Current.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
