Self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Canada’ freed on bail in Saskatchewan

Sep 8, 2025 | 12:30 PM

SWIFT CURRENT – A judge granted the release of Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada,” at a bail hearing Monday 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.

The compound was at a decommissioned school. On the weekend, health officials declared the building unfit for human habitation and are banning anyone from living there.

A publication ban was placed on details of the bail hearing.

As part of her release, Didulo also can’t have contact with those associated with the Kingdom of Canada, must stay away from Richmound and can’t have any weapons.

She has elected to have her case heard by a jury. Her next court date is Sept. 17.
