Tory politicians have hit back at First Minister Mark Drakeford for his comments about the Prince of Wales' investiture. Conservative MP for Clwyd West and former Welsh secretary David Jones, as well as Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant, have said that Mr Drakeford should not be involved in the discussion around the Royal title and have accused him of "politicising" the investiture.
It comes after King Charles announced his son and heir apparent, Prince William, and his wife Catherine would become the new Prince and Princess of Wales. The announcement has divided opinions however with one senior Welsh politician arguing that the title made no sense for a democratic nation while a petition has called for the role to be dropped.
Following the announcement of the couple taking on the titles Mr Drakeford said that there was a "legitimate" debate to be had around the Prince of Wales title and added there was "no rush" to planning the upcoming investiture. But in the Daily Express Welsh MP Mr Jones described the First Minister’s comments as "deeply inappropriate" and suggested he should not interfere with the "King's business".
