Charges Stayed Against Romana Didulo in Saskatchewan

In Swift Current, Saskatchewan, charges against Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed leader of the group known as the Kingdom of Canada, were stayed by Crown prosecutors on March 17, 2026, leaving residents of the nearby village of Richmound relieved yet frustrated over the ongoing disruptions caused by her followers.

Didulo, who refers to herself as the Queen of Canada, had faced two counts: failing to comply with a court undertaking and intimidating a participant in the justice system. A court official confirmed the stays, which halt prosecution but allow the charges to be reactivated within one year if new evidence emerges. Saskatchewan's Justice Ministry stated that prosecutors determined there was not a reasonable likelihood of conviction based on the available evidence. "Public Prosecutions knows the decision may be disappointing for many, but it is important to uphold the legal standards that govern prosecutions and rule of law," the ministry said in a statement.

The charges originated from events surrounding a police raid on September 3, 2025, at a decommissioned school in Richmound, a rural community of about 120 residents located west of Regina near the Alberta border....
