The new Prince of Wales' investiture will be a more "low-key ceremony" in comparison to his father's in 1969, according to reports. The death of Queen Elizabeth II means King Charles III will pass the title to his son Prince William and his wife Kate, as the new Prince and Princess of Wales.
William will be the 23rd heir apparent of the British throne to claim the title, but only the third to be invested in Wales itself. According to The Telegraph, Prince William's investiture is scheduled to happen after the King's coronation and is likely to be next year.
Reports suggest it will take place at Llandaff Cathedral and is said to be a "more low-key ceremony" in comparison to Charles' investiture over 53 years ago, although Cardiff Council could not confirm anything at this stage. Charles' investiture took place at Caernarfon Castle in July 1969 - 11 years after the Queen announced her intention to to make him Prince of Wales.
