That video on YouTube is playful.  But for the life of me I can?t figure out that last exchange.

 In their Twitter post the Cambridges recalled their visit with the Zelenskys. This article is from October 2020 when the Ukrainian President and First Lady were on a visit to the United Kingdom. It was one of the first in person royal visits to take place since the spring of 2020.

Seeing the devastation caused by the floods in New Zealand is a reminder of the herculean effort we must all make to protect our planet. I know you will come together, as you have done before, to support those in need. Catherine and I are thinking about all those affected. W

Yes, absolutely, including several Australasian South Koreans. There is real danger in several cities in Asia of being trapped in such a situation. Thousands just out for an enjoyable night.

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.

UK (Wales), YouGov poll:
Should Wales be an independent country?
Yes: 32% (+5)
No: 68% (-5)

The image was too big.

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.

I did, hence I posted the latest YouGov poll of Wales citizens only. Almost 70% in the world of survey is excellent.

Although I love the PR approach of William and Kate, let's earn the 'trust' of the people. IMO very humble approach.

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.

One thing at a time. Wales is part of the UK, Monarchy system. It is not like the voters did not know.

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  He could even practice it with Charles.

It intertwines, there is a constitutional monarchy in place.

Independence means a republic, a president, a new monetary system, a new absolutely everything.
