Driving rain and wind diverts plans for royal tour on B.C.’s central coast
BELLA BELLA, B.C. — Plans to show off one of British Columbia’s most beautiful areas to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were scuttled Monday by miserable weather.
The aerial tour of the Great Bear Rainforest and a boat tour of Bella Bella Harbour for Prince William and Kate were cancelled.
Winds gusted, the water was choppy and it was pouring rain on B.C.’s central coast, an area well known for its wet weather.
William and Kate were greeted by a rousing cheer when they arrived at the Wawiskas Community Hall, where they met community members and about two dozen hereditary chiefs who were part of the official welcoming party.
