Kate and William May Visit Green Gables

When Kate and William make their first official Royal visit to Canada next month, it is expected that they will stop by Cavendish, the hometown and setting for the classic Canadian novel, “Anne of Green Gables.”

A source tells London’s the Daily Mail that Kate specifically requested a stop on Prince Edward Island, as “Anne of Green Gables” is one of her favorite childhood books.

“It is something of a sentimental journey,” a source told the paper. “The book was Kate’s favourite when she was growing up. The details of the Canadian tour are still being worked out but she requested that Prince Edward Island be on their itinerary so she could see the house and places mentioned in the book.”

The classic story follows the adventures of Anne and was published in 1908.  The story and tiny Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, the setting for the story, has since become an iconic story in Canadian literature and draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
