'Queen of Canada' arrested on livestream after RCMP deploy to village where cult has lived for 2 years

Romana Didulo, self-declared Queen of Canada, was arrested after disrupting a small Saskatchewan village for two years with her cult, leading to assault charges against a follower, police said.

  • A livestream on Telegram Wednesday captures two RCMP officers in tactical gear arresting Romana Didulo, saying `You're under arrest` to her followers at 5:51 a.m. CST.
  • The group has been living in a former school in Richmound for two years under Romana Didulo, leader of the Kingdom of Canada, and RCMP say officers deployed due to an ongoing investigation.
  • Officials report an arrest and related charges involving a follower as Richmound residents face disruptions, the village office closed due to harassment, and Rick Manz, property owner and follower, was charged with assault and threats.
  • Police confirmed a presence and reassured the public that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed to 980 CJME there was no risk to public safety and will provide an update later on Wednesday.
  • Community leaders note ongoing strain between Didulo's group and town staff and residents in Richmound, Saskatchewan, as Mayor Brad Miller and locals repeatedly call for the group to leave amid harassment allegations.
