Romana Didulo, a 51-year-old woman who calls herself the "Queen of Canada," appeared in Swift Current Provincial Court on Friday morning. She moved to Canada from the Philippines in 1990. Over the years, she became known for her unusual claims, saying she was appointed "Queen of Canada" and later even "Queen of the World" by someone named David J. Carlson.

Didulo has gathered a group of followers who believe in her claims. Her group has also been connected to various conspiracy theories, including ideas linked to the QAnon movement. She has issued orders to her followers, telling them they could ignore certain government laws and directions. This has caused concern among local communities and authorities.

Arrest and Detention

Didulo was arrested on September 3, 2025, at a former school building in Richmond, Saskatchewan, where she and about 15 followers had been living for almost two years. The building had health and safety concerns, and local officials were worried about the conditions in which the group was living.

Initially, Didulo and her followers were released after the arrest. However, they were quickly taken back into custody after breaking the conditions of their release. They were found to be communicating with each other, which was not allowed, and this created more legal issues for the group.

Representing Herself in Court

During the court session, Didulo told the judge that she wants to represent herself in the upcoming bail hearing scheduled for Monday. This decision is unusual because serious criminal cases are complicated, and self-representation can make the legal process more difficult. Legal experts are watching closely to see how this will affect the outcome of the case.

Legal Charges and Community Concerns

The charges against Didulo are serious. Authorities have accused her of inciting unlawful activities and putting public safety at risk. Communities where Didulo and her followers have lived report incidents of harassment and intimidation. Residents say they felt unsafe and relieved when legal action was taken against her.

Law enforcement continues to monitor Didulo and her followers to prevent further incidents and maintain public safety. This case has become a topic of national attention because of her claims and the potential influence on her followers.

What Happens Next

The bail hearing will be a key event in this case. The judge will decide if Didulo can be released or will remain in custody until her trial. Many people are watching the case closely, including community members and legal experts, because it could set a precedent on how authorities handle individuals promoting extreme ideas and challenging the law.

This case shows the challenges law enforcement faces when dealing with individuals who claim authority outside the legal system. It also highlights the importance of community safety and the legal system in maintaining order.
