A petition calling for the Prince of Wales title to no longer be used has gained more than 25,000 signatures. The petition says the title should end "out of respect".
After ascending to the throne, King Charles declared Prince William the Prince of Wales. He also made William's wife Kate, the Princess of Wales - it is the first time the title has been held by anyone since Princess Diana.
The petition calls for the Prince of Wales title to end "out of respect" for the Welsh. The petition website reads: “The title remains an insult to Wales and is a symbol of historical oppression. The title implies that Wales is still a principality, undermining Wales’ status as a nation and a country. In addition, the title has absolutely no constitutional role for Wales, which is now a devolved country with a national Parliament.”
