No Yukon visit for Prince George, Princess Charlotte

Forget about that selfiewith young Prince George. In fact, forget about any selfie with the royals next week in Yukon.

"Turning your back to the Duke and Duchess [of Cambridge]and taking a selfie is discouraged if at all possible," said Jennifer Gehmair, with the Yukon government's tourism department.

"I know it's fun to do, but they much would rather see your face!"

The territorial government has released a few more details about Prince William and Kate'supcoming visit to Whitehorse andCarcross, including this disappointing fact for royal-watchers they're not bringing thekids.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are travelling to B.C. with their parents, but no further.

"At this point, they're not coming to Yukon," said Kate Durand, a communications advisor with the territorial government.

The royal visit to Yukon will be relatively short a little more than a day, from Sept. 27 to 28 but there's a lot on the agenda, including community festivals in Whitehorse and Carcross, visits to the MacBride Museum and Montana Mountain,andeven a drop-in at a carving shed in Carcross.

• Royal visit to Yukon to celebrate First Nations communities, arts, culture

Not all events will be open to the public, butGehmairsaid it shouldn't be hard to spot the royals out and about, especially at the community festivalin Whitehorse.

In Whitehorse, after visiting the MacBride Museum on the morning of Sept. 28, Will and Kate will stroll along Front Street, then up Main Street to the corner of Second Avenue.

Along the way, they'll see a variety of cultural displays and meet someyoung artists. Gehmair said the Duke and Duchess will remain within a "secured area,"but it may be the best placefor the public to see them.

"There will be plenty of opportunities along those areas to have a good view, and possibly even engage with the Duke and Duchess,"she said.

She's encouraging people to be downtownby 8:30 a.m., giving themselves plenty of time to arrive. She's encouraging people to carpool, if possible, to avoid parking nightmares downtown.

Events in Carcross

Later that day, in Carcross, the royals will attend a private event at the Carcross Commons, hosted by the Carcross/Tagish First Nation. The public may have an opportunity to see them as they arrive and leave that event. The public can also see the couple as cross the footbridge along Bennett Lake.

The First Nation will also host acommunity festival to celebrate the visit,featuringa First Nations' artists market, bannock and tea, and live entertainment through the day.

Will and Kate will also see a mountain biking demonstration on Montana Mountain, but that event will not be open to the public. Access roads to the mountain will be closed for the day, Durand said.

People are encouragedto be in Carcrossby 10:30 a.m. if they want a chance to spot the royals, but are urged not to rush there from the earlier Whitehorse events.

"We're really encouraging people to choose one event or the other," Durand said.
