The lieutenant governor of Prince Edward Island is the representative in Prince Edward Island of the monarch,who operates distinctly within the province but is also shared equally with the ten other jurisdictions of Canada,as well as the other Commonwealth realms and any subdivisions thereof,and resides predominantly in his oldest realm,the United Kingdom.

Government House of Prince Edward Island,often referred to as Fanningbank,is the official residence of the lieutenant governor of Prince Edward Island. The vice-regal residence is located in the provincial capital of Charlottetown. It stands in the provincial capital at 1 Terry Fox Drive;while the equivalent building in many provinces has a prominent,central place in the capital,the site of Prince Edward Island's Government House is relatively unobtrusive within Charlottetown,giving it more the character of a private home.
