Self-proclaimed 'Queen of Canada' freed on bail in Saskatchewan

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Sep, 2025 10:36 AM

A judge has granted the release of Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Canada," at a bail hearing in Swift Current, Sask.

Judge Alan Jacobson imposed a number of conditions on Didulo, including that she stay at a Regina residence around the clock unless granted permission to leave by a probation officer.

The 50-year-old is charged with breaching a court order and attempting to intimidate a justice system participant.

She was one of 16 people arrested last week at a compound in the village of Richmound, west of Regina.

Didulo and some of her "Kingdom of Canada" followers, who have promoted various conspiracy theories, set up the compound at the property in 2023.

RCMP say they searched the site and seized 13 imitation semi-automatic handguns along with ammunition and electronic devices.
