i-Cambria has news of an alleged ‘Royal Charm offensive’ in preparation for a possible investiture of Prince William to succeed Prince Charles as nominal Prince of Wales. See below for an extract taken from the main article.
“Nowadays, Welsh support for the English monarchy is confined to a dwindling band of pensioners clinging to memories of the glory days of the British Empire, sundry Tories who have failed to grasp their party’s new-found enthusiasm for Devolution and a tiny clique acting out the antediluvian rituals of their smarter English peers as ‘Lord Lieutenants’ and ‘High Sheriffs’ along with a group of thirsty freeloaders from County Council ‘chain gangs’. All are generally deemed to be pitifully out-of-touch with the times.”
Whatever one thinks of the involvement of the English monarchy with Wales (little as it has been recently) this will stir up a political hornet’s nest. A petition has already been launched and is gathering momentum… see here
The funny thing is that most people seem to have no objection to Prince William himself (as a young person), it is the use of him as a political pawn, particularly in the Welsh context, that seems odious to many.
