The Prince of Wales is to start posting in Welsh on Twitter and working with the Welsh-language broadcaster S4C as he tries to boost his ties with the country.

Prince William, who has admitted he needs to ?"branch out a bitwith his Welsh, is not yet taking lessons but will begin ?supporting Welsh-language projects?.

He is also expected to invite S4C to join the official media entourage on Welsh engagements.

Royal sources said William, 40, who will return to Wales before Christmas with the Princess of Wales, is keen to learn and speak more Welsh as the couple focus on "deepening the trust and respect of the people of Wales over time".

The King spent nine weeks at Aberystwyth University learning Welsh language and history before his investiture as Prince of Wales in a televised pageant at Carnarfon Castle in 1969. William has let it be known that he will not have a grand ceremony to mark his new role.

republicanism has always been stronger in Wales (which has socialist MPs and local councils in much greater proportions than Tories) than in the Home Counties and southern England. However, it suffers from being an extremely small part of GB that will never be able to break completely away and therefore protest against the monarchy has a rather resigned quality.

Republic sentiment is still present however, especially in Wales?s ex industrial cities and heartland, so good luck, William, in changing hearts and minds there in this economic climate, especially among the young! And it?s a good job you?re not holding an Investiture. Advisers have thought it not advisable no doubt! There were protests in Wales when 21 year old Charles had one but one held today would make that seem like a picnic.

Having stated quite clearly in the sentence starting with ?However it suffers??? I then go on to say that not all Welsh persons are hung Ho about royalty, about Charles or about William, or in fact about the title of Prince of Wales itself.

Perhaps you prefer to believe that all Welsh people love English royalty with an abiding passion, and, like Scotland, thoroughly adore being kept by England?s side for ever more, regarded as some lesser place? Well, I can assure you they don?t. And recognising the realities of geography and demographics doesn?t mean that national feelings of peoples there is to be regarded as worthless.

That poll didn?t address the question of the monarchy in Wales, which is a different question, but of Welsh independence from England. Most Welsh people know that because Wales is so small and has little industrial or post industrial resources it can?t survive on its own. That is accepted. However Welsh people, like Scots, are extremely patriotic and don?t care to be lumped in with the whole of Britain as if the only country that matters is England.

That poll doesn?t translate to 70% of the population being in favour of the English monarchy. It?s been known for decades that Wales, Scotland and the North of England are far less monarchist than the Home Counties of England and the South and more rural parts of England. There were protests at the time of Charles?s Investiture as Prince of Wales and I distinctly remember there were threats of bombs from Welsh nationalists at the time. Protests would be a whole lot more violent now than then, so it?s good that no Investiture is planned for William.

Questions have been asked too by several members of the Welsh Assembly over the last decade about the traditional title of the male heir to the Sovereign being given the honorific of Prince of Wales without the say so of the Welsh population. That will almost certainly come up again as Charles?s reign proceeds and it could well mean that George is not given that title when his turn comes (if the British monarchy lasts that long of course.)

As for ?the humble approach? one would have thought that, considering William?s future role in the monarchy, that the years in Anglesey could have been utilised by his learning some Welsh history and the language. Plenty of Welsh teachers around. Use of his initiative.

That could have proceeded on afterwards so he knew at least some Welsh before the title Prince of?was handed to him. However, that?s the BRF all over, largely reactive not proactive, leave things to the last possible moment, don?t worry about next year, etc, etc.

It?s not twinned together at all in the polling question. Welsh and Scottish people discuss the question of independence for their country separately to the monarchy question, whatever people feel about having an English King or Queen. The monarchy didn?t come into the referendum question at all in Scotland. The population there seem to have voted largely on the economics of Scotland being tied to England. Most Scots voted to stay in the EU and the vote of the rest of GB to leave (Brexit) came as a shock to them.

The Queen wasn?t even much mentioned in debates before the referendum. That doesn?t change the fact that a lot of the population of Scotland, Wales and the post industrial Northern England aren?t exactly fans of the RF.

Nevertheless that wasn?t the question asked.

In Australia the question of Head of State was front, right and centre of the referendum in the 1990s. Not so there,

While William won't have the same opportunity to spend nine weeks learning Welsh like his father, he can make use of modern technology to assist him in learning one of the world's more challenging languages. Starting with some greetings and phrases is the usual way to begin for anyone attempting a new language instead of pesky verb conjugation.

Time to use Duolingo and even get the kids involved.! They have a version for Welsh.  Duolingo (https://www.duolingo.com/course/cy/en/Learn-Welsh)  He could even practice it with Charles.

I know. All those questions were debated at length in the Australian referendum.
However, the results you posted were people answering questions from a pollster by phone, a quite quick and casual procedure (I know because I?ve been a recipient in several) not actually going to the polling booth after ruminating on a serious question for some months about what is being proposed.

It is indeed supposedly one of the more challenging languages. I think Charles forgot most of his Welsh quite quickly after his University days. He was left with one or two sentences of greeting in the end. Don?t know whether he?s continued it since.

I do think it?s a question if you are multilingual of the old expression ?Use it or lose it!? The best way is always to mix with native speakers very regularly. Of course that?s not always possible, but Anglesey would have been a fantastic place to begin.
Title: Re: Prince and Princess of Wales Official Social Media

I would guess that Charles has retained some conversational phrases and greetings that would be appreciated when on a visit to Wales, but probably can't remember how to conjugate verbs with the correct pronouns.  Unless he's been practicing with staff member who is a native speaker, I doubt that he's come in contact with many who use the language on a daily basis.

Like I have repeatedly said in my past posts, the Welsh are a proud people but they know there is no way they could survive economically without England, unfortunately. The population is small.  The north of Wales is nearer geographically with good transport links  to Birkenhead, the Wirral and Liverpool than it is to Cardiff.

Typical perhaps of English measures taken in the past like sinking Welsh villages to make a dam to supply Liverpool with water. Not to mention the British Coal Board?s response to the tragedy of Aberfan.

We finally know who is the digital content creator for The Prince and Princess of Wales.  His name is George Fuller. He previously worked in the House of Commons as senior digital communications officer; he also worked for ESPN, The Telegraph, ITV and more -

William and Kate play a dangerous game, as the King does not like being overshadowed. And this is from a website that has been viruntly pro-Wales for years.

?For years now, every Wales outing, from opening a well-intentioned potting shed to a state dinner, has had the social media treatment, these work-related updates interspersed with plenty of heartwarming pics that drive the ?happy, normal family? line home with all the subtlety of a solid gold partridge fork to the eye.?

^I?m not really sure what ?game? would be being played, to be honest. Kate and William have always been more popular than Charles. Also, how else are they supposed to present themselves other than as a family? Should Kate pretend she doesn?t know who her children are? 😂

They?re the Prince and Princess of Wales. Should they have hidden in the basement until it was all over? Lol this really gave me a good laugh. Charles being overshadowed is nothing new and his frustrations over it are documented. However, I just don?t feel that same desire to ?be seen? in William that was present in Charles. If anything, they don?t get out enough, in my opinion. They need to be doing more engagements not less.

But the Machiavellian description of William and Kate plotting to take out Charles is just the hilarity I needed after a tough week 😂

I would like to think that by now Charles is used to the media or anyone else trying to over shadow him as after all we all witnessed the same between him and his wife, Diana.  I think this is just another media junk article wanting to cause drama and trouble for the royals like they do all the time.   I get the impression that Charles is a happily settled man in his own skin finally and he has a wonderful family, so who wants to make trouble for the king and his son William now that Harry is out of the picture by his own choice?

^Yep. It?s the media merry-go-round. One minute you?re a superstar and the next you?re plotting to take the throne lol the coronation is over so time to manufacture some new story out of thin air.

If there?s one thing that?s come out of all the drama with Harry is how much Charles seems to genuinely love and care for his sons. No matter how much Harry insults him, he seems to know it?s coming from a place of misplaced anger and forgives him for it. He also seems to love his grandchildren and spending time with them, so I don?t think he?s bothered by the fact that everyone seems to adore them like he does. And you?re right Nightowl. He seems to just have found a good stride in both his public and private life.

I can?t remember where I heard it, but there was discussion about how much closer Charles and William have gotten as he?s gotten older. I think I tend to agree. It?s to be expected I guess. But who knows? Maybe Charles typed up that article himself and submitted it for publication 🤣🤣🤣 So funny.

:hi:I strongly believe Charles has lots of *guilt* he carries around over his failed marriage to Diana and how it affected the boys, (therapy 101 on guilt) and that is why he will always in most ways have a helping hand for Harry and believe me if anyone needs a helping hand in the royal family it is Harry for when he hits bottom or crashes it will be be pretty. Lots of families out there that if reading royal sites and the BRF probably see the signs like I do. And this won't go over well here for some yet it is my opinion, Meghan is the sneaky one, the controlling one, she plots and plans her life and is very strong and intelligent...never put anything past her as I had one just like that in my family, the very same personality.  Meghan keeps a diary, LOL, I know one member who recorded all the conversation in my family, every conversation was recorded and when found out by some members all hell broke loose, not a good thing to do to blackmail your family like Harry and Meghan tried to do.

Anyhow, Charles will just have to live with his life now the way it is, lots more restrictions I think are placed on him being King like it did to HM yet he has strong opinions which I like and hope he can work around  ways to give say them.  William is tough, he is showing me signs of Princess Anne and how she suffers no fools and he needs that with Harry so that when the time comes very far off into the future he can guide George into his kingship. 

I hope with the Coronation over that all members of the royal family go to their corner and just take deep breaths and step back from anger and lies.

^ So Kate arrived/departed via train. Train station to/from she was picked up by a car, security wise, the car went through Windsor/London/Windsor with no primary plan - no charge, the charge was aboard a train with her team, including the RPO's.

From today's #DailyMail, the Princess of Wales talks honestly about how becoming a royal was a struggle at times and I take a look behind Kensington Palace's new social media blitz (there's even been talks with Tik Tok).

Yes, they should go on Tik Tok, 99.5 are Gen Z

Post by: HistoryGirl2 on May 18, 2023, 07:37:55 PM
^^I?m really liking this new PR they?ve got going on. I think now that the Queen is gone, the King can now set his own style of what?s expected of the Firm.

I don?t think it?s necessarily a bad idea to go on TikTok, but there?s some political battles there that might lead to criticism from some arenas if they did that.

As far as her comments about the difficulties of becoming a royal, *that* is how a person of privilege should address their struggles. Honestly, without dwelling on it and making the entire conversation about yourself. Bravo! But I do think that?s more her personality anyway, putting the focus on others instead of herself. I think their team realizes that it is not a foregone conclusion that they?ll be crowned in the future. Gotta work for that support and it looks like they?re off to a good start.

🏉 During the match @EnglandRugby against Argentina, I had the privilege of speaking with Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, godmother of the England team, after the match against Argentina.

She warmly thanked me for the welcome given by the Touquettois to the England team and for proposing the name of Elizabeth II for our international airport. I also had the pleasure of inviting him to come and discover Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷 #LeTouquet
