At , it is the fourth largest island in British Columbia.〔( Pacidic Coast Islands ), The Atlas of Canada〕 Princess Royal Island was named in 1788 by Captain Charles Duncan, after his sloop, the ''Princess Royal''.
==Access and settlements==
The island is located in an extremely remote area of British Columbia, north of Vancouver and south of Prince Rupert. It is accessible only by boat or air. The Inside Passage ferry and shipping lane runs along its eastern flank, in a series of channels separating it from the mainland. The island is currently uninhabited, but formerly was home to the community of Surf Inlet, a gold-mining town at the inlet of the same name (though also known as Port Belmont or Belmont), and Butedale, a mining, cannery, fishing and logging town on the island's east coast. The nearest communities today are Klemtu, on Swindle Island and Hartley Bay, on the mainland shore east of Gil Island.
