Prince William won’t have a traditional investiture


Prince William has no plans for a ceremonial investiture as Prince of Wales.

The 40-year-old prince was given the contentious title following the death of Queen Elizabeth, but Kensington Palace has assured that his investiture as Prince of Wales will be “nothing like his father’s.”

A spokeswoman told the BBC, “Right now, it’s about building trust with the people of Wales and portraying the modern, dynamic Wales.”

There are currently no plans for the investiture.

More than 35,000 individuals have signed a petition calling for the title to be abolished, stating that the last native Prince of Wales died in the Middle Ages.

In a solemn ceremony at Caernarfon Castle in 1969, the queen formally invested King Charles as Prince of Wales, a position he held for more than six decades.

Additionally, Charles studied Welsh history and learned Welsh in preparation for the wedding.

During his investiture, he spoke in Welsh: “I, Charles, Prince of Wales, am now thy liege man of life and limb and of earthly worship, and faith and truth I shall bear unto thee, to live and die against all manner of people. Therefore, assist me God”

William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, arrived in Anglesey, north-west Wales, on Tuesday afternoon for their first visit to the country since receiving their titles.

After their first marriage, the royal couple lived in Anglesey for three years, and they have met crew and volunteers at the RNLI Holyhead Lifeboat Station.

William and Catherine are also planned to visit St. Thomas’, a renovated church in Swansea that serves the local community.

The journey to Wales is the monarch’s first formal duty since the completion of the period of mourning following the queen’s death on September 8 in Scotland.
