Prince of Wales reveals he is learning Welsh and knows how to say 'cup of tea'

The Prince of Wales has revealed he has started learning Welsh and now knows how to say 'cup of tea'. It has emerged the royal has no plans to stage a formal investiture to mark his new title, like the ceremony his father had in Caernarfon Castle in July 1969.

William spoke about getting to grips with the language with Reverend Steven Bunting from St Thomas Church in Swansea where he and Kate visited on Tuesday afternoon (September 27), telling him he had already picked up the word ‘paned’, meaning a cup of tea.

His father, King Charles, previously studied Welsh while at university in Aberystwyth and paid tribute to his teacher Tedi Millward when he died in 2020.
