His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Princess Danica, and their family will visit Canada from June 26 to June 30, where they will meet with the Serbian community in the province of Ontario and take part in a series of religious, cultural, and social events.
The visit will begin on Friday, June 26, with a tour of the Monastery of the Holy Transfiguration of the Lord in Milton, which serves as the seat of the Canadian Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
A day later, the royal family will visit two St. Nicholas churches in Hamilton, as well as the Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Centre in Binbrook. A formal gala dinner at Winona Vine Estates is also scheduled for the same day.

The central event of the visit will take place on Sunday, June 28, when Prince Philip and Princess Danica will participate in the “Serbian Day” celebration at Niagara Falls, traditionally held in honor of Vidovdan.
During their stay in Canada, visits are also planned to Serbian Orthodox churches in the cities of Kitchener, Waterloo, and Mississauga, where the royal family will meet members of the Serbian diaspora.
This visit represents a significant event for the Serbian community in Canada and an opportunity to further strengthen ties between the diaspora and the homeland, while preserving the spiritual, cultural, and national identity of the Serbian people beyond the borders of Serbia.
