("FedEx Express Canada") delivered a gift on behalf of the City of Charlottetown, PEI to Prince William and Princess Catherine to celebrate the birth of their baby girl who shares a name with the historic maritime community (population 35,000).
The royal package in honour of Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte was delivered directly to Clarence House in Westminster, England on May 26, 2015, courtesy of FedEx Express Canada, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp.

"Mayor Clifford Lee and the people of Charlottetown have assembled a collection for the Princess that represents their community and our country," said Lisa Lisson, president of FedEx Express Canada. "It is our honour to participate in this unique delivery."
FedEx Express Canada delivered the package at no cost to the City of Charlottetown.
"On behalf of Council and the citizens of Charlottetown, we send best wishes and our congrats to the Prince William and Princess Catherine on their new arrival, and we thank FedEx Express Canada for contributing to the enthusiasm our City has over the birth of Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte by helping us with the delivery," said Charlottetown Mayor Clifford Lee. "We know our small basket of gifts would arrive safely and on time, and we hope the Royal family enjoy it."
