What expense does this farce cost the Welsh people?
Jeff ThomasWales is its own country and has all the necessary functions and institutions for a nation-state. The people are perfectly capable of self-rule. Any attempt to install a “prince of Wales” is an insult beyond expression.
Theresa ClarkI wish to express my view, which I know is shared by so many of the people of Wales, that any attempt to force another investiture of a so-called ‘Prince of Wales’ on our nation would be yet another government led decision inflicted against our will. These decisions should never be allowed to be made from London on behalf of the Welsh people.
Karen WilliamsWhy on earth would any self-respecting Welsh person want or need an English “Prince of Wales”? Patronizing, insulting, and ridiculously anachronistic. Visit Wales if you wish, but please don’t make any absurd pretensions to any form of princedom. Be content to be a prince in your own country. Wales is a friendly neighbour, but is not synonymous with England.
Rowena HarriesAny move to stage an investiture in my opinion highlights the fact that Wales is still only seen as another region of the UK rather than a thriving culturally distinct nation within the UK. It demonstrates the British establishment’s intention to keep us from being a free nation.

NO to the Monarchy and NO to a new prince of Wales! Wales should not be a subject to this nonsense anymore. Wales had a monarchy at one time, and to insult the memory and achievements in uniting Wales as an independent nation again, would be a disrespectful.
