Plans to slim down the Prince of Wales role show that another divisive investiture is far from inevitable

61% want another investiture? really! where are all these royalists living? even my nan wanted rid of them.

If a date is set for another investiture at Castell Caernarfon, it will ‘strangely’ coincide with the biggest Yes Cymru march ever and if the march is banned, it will be even bigger than the biggest Yes Cymru march ever.

If another false Prince is presented to us from the ramparts, given the way we have moved towards greater autonomy, given the growing belief that we can govern ourselves completely, given that trust for these ossified remnants of a fictionalised past is dropping, who can predict the ultimate reaction? Perhaps it'd be a good thing - the last straw. Perhaps political apathy trumps our still-young movement. Still, it's increasingly difficult to see exactly how a prevailing focus on just how antiquated and foreign an investiture looks(and thus the title and office) could possibly be avoided.

Bring it on, it will be a massive boost to the independence movement.

Sadly, I believe that English conquest triumphalism will be irresistible to Johnson and many of his ilk. We are very likely to have a third Caernarfon Durbar.

The English Royal Family are medieval mafia. A passive dictatorship. Who refer to themselves as "The Firm" not my description but the Queen's herself. The Welsh will have no choice if we want or not William & Kate as Prince & Princess. of Wales. They will be forced on us as done when Prince Charles was imposed on us in 1969 to pander to Unionists Anglophiles like today's Simon Hart. William and Kate, like Charles will use their publically funded Carmarthenshire holiday home as a facade to bamboozle the public into believing they are committed to Wales, but it's a lie. They'll greet a few school children. Have a few snaps eating a cake baked by some pensioner , then bugger off in their helicopter back to London with their entourage. People forget. In 1969 what Charles promised during his investiture at Caernarfon castle wearing a Blue Peter made crown with gold sprayed ping-pong balls .Think I'm joking, eh? Think again. It's true, apart from the Blue Peter bit. See, our crown jewels we stolen by the English, melted down and incorporated into the England's crown jewels. I think the only thing the English haven't stolen from the Welsh is our souls. But they have tried. Anyway, I'll refresh your memory regarding Charles investiture speech.. Feel free to laugh. I have " I, Charles, Prince of Wales, do become your liege man of life and limb and of earthly worship, and faith and truth I will bear unto thee, to live and die against all manner of folks." Note the key words in his speech. Your Liege Man: He is saying that he is our feudal superior, who will lay down his life for Wales. Yeah, right. He rarely visits Wales let alone die for. I bear unto thee: This alludes to the fact that he will cope and endure. But with what I ask? He's never lifted a finger or done anything from himself in his life without servants & nannies. And since his investiture in 1969 didn't even live in the country he was made Prince of until 37 yrs later he was persuaded by the English establishment to have a publically funded cottage holiday home bought & paid using Welsh taxpayers money as a facade. His real residence is Clarence House in London not Wales. He more proactive for the County of Cornwall that he is the Country of Wales. Faith and Truth: Charles was first married at Westminster Abbey the bastion of the Church of England. Then again at Windsor Guildhall and marriage blessed at Windsor Castle. Both occasions using Church of England clergy. Being the "alleged" Prince of Wales could have used St' David Cathedral in Pembrokeshire and Church of Wales clergy, but he didn't. No doubt Royalists would state how Westminster Abbey is where all English Royals are married and St' David's was too small. But I'd say. Charles wasn't an English Prince, but a Welsh Prince who is English. And St' David's is not a Welsh Chapel but a 300ft Cathedral. We Cymry were the first Christians of all Britain.n And the Church of Wales is the oldest having being founded during Roman times , this might I add before the Germanic Saxon arrived or England & English existed as a country & people or Christianity reach the shores of Ireland & Scotland. So I think we're a little overqualified. And truth of the matter is. Yes, you can see where this is heading to. Charles lied when he said he'd be faithful not only to Wales but to his first wife Dianna. So Adulterer Charles not cheated the people of Wales going against his investiture promise but his marriage vows too. Finally, with that said. It would be a huge mistake to foist William and Kate on Wales. We do not need or want these transient freeloaders using and abusing our country for their own cynical purposes. Time they sailed off into the sunset , preferably without a compass, and Wales became an free independent Republic.

The Establishment will find the prospect of another panto at the castle irresistible, so be prepared.

Dafydd El to take the role of George Thomas as Caernarfon ring master ?

The year is 2022, when are we going to get rid of this nonsense and elect our head of state? As for another English Prince of Wales, have we no pride

It's funny, the same people who demand the royals silly ceremonies are the same ones criticizing the Gorsedd for their ceremonies. Their actions only push more people to the indy movement, every time they step on our flag another person picks one up. I also have plans for the investiture that will involve a couple buckets of paint and the mysterious painting over of saes signs in the hopes they never find Caernarfon.

Tywysog Cymru/ Prince of Wales is Owain Glyndwr. When crossing the bridge over the Severn it's open to each to think of whichever tywysog/ prince they like. Nice. As for the English royal family once Mrs Queen dies they should become a handful of 5 persons paid a stipend for ceremonial appearances to support trade and political stability. They should pay tax like everyone else.

I was in Caernafon last year and walking around the town and the castle I was struck by the number of flags on the buildings and in the harbour. Not one Union Jack. A dozen St David's Crosses, a hundred Draig Gochs, and even more banners of the house of Aberffraw. For all the Norman and Victorian edifices and street names imposed on the area, an "investiture" in Caernafon would be met with contempt and opposition. The people of Gwynedd are lovely, welcoming people to those who come as friends. Those last six words are key.
