King Charles III would not want the new Prince of Wales - his son, William, to go through what he did during his 1969 investiture, according to a former speaker of the Senedd. In an interview with ITV's politics programme Sharp End on Monday, Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas recalled a conversation he had with the then-Prince of Wales, Charles, during his time as the Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport.
This comes after King Charles appointed Prince Williams the new Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, following the death of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday (September 8). The former Plaid Cymru politician has shared his views on the royal title, stating it made no sense for a democratic nation like Wales to have a prince. You can read more about this story here.
Recent reports suggest that the new Prince of Wales' investiture will be a more "low-key ceremony" in comparison to Charles' investiture in 1969. William will be the 23rd heir apparent to the British throne to claim the title but only the third to be invested in Wales itself.
