Royal Visits to the Queen City The name "Regina" actually signifies "Queen", which is why Regina is often referred to as the Queen City. The name was first suggested by Her Royal Highness, Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria, in August 1882. Since then Regina has had the honour of hosting a wide range of Royal guests.
