King Henry VIII & Queen Catherine of Aragon

If you see King Henry VIII and Queen Catherine of Aragon walking around CelticFest, you are not imagining things. Just prepare to bow or curtsey as they pass by. The royals will be escorted by some of the residents of the Village of Steller's Grove (BC Renfest's “village”). Don't be afraid to approach them and introduce yourself, but make sure to accord them due respect, especially if you envisage a title in your future!
