As my heir, William now asumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me. He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.

Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty. With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given.

The King's Speech

As I read the transcript, I was struck by several things about the single sentence in which King Charles mentions his second son and his first wife.

"I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas."

No titles - not The Duke of Sussex, not the Duchess of Sussex. Just Harry and Meghan - exactly as they have said they wanted. Could more be read into this? We'll have to wait and see.

Overseas - so much shade in just one word. 'Overseas' means that Haz can't possibly be a Counsellor of State. 'Overseas' also means that there is no role for either of you in my realm. 'Overseas' also means that their lease on Frogmore Cottage (if it, indeed, really exists) will likely not be renewed. 'Overseas' means you are OUT.

Order of mention - One sentence, thrown in as an afterthought following a huge paragraph full of praise for William and Catherine in which he announced they are now the Prince and Princess of Wales. If you listen to the audio, it's especially striking how obligatory this mention is, yet Charles cannot be blamed for omitting them completely or being snarky. On the surface, he expresses his love for them. Blameless. Masterful. Never betray a Scorpio.

No mention of their kids - Absolutely no reference to Farkie and Invisibet. None whatsoever. To be fair, he didn't mention the Cambridge kids either. Will be interesting to see how they handle the Harkle PR about their new little prince and princess. I suspect it will be as succinct, and as strategic.

Now, contrast the above with what he said about William and Catherine:

"As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me. He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades. Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty. With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where vital help can be given."

He expressed his pride in William, his belief in the abilities of his oldest son, and called out Catherine by name with compliments, not to mention the big Prince and Princess of Wales drop. Oh, and did I mention the £21 MILLION annual Duchy of Cornwall income?

Clearly the Harkles royal cosplay has not gone unnoticed, with Harry using the surname Wales to play polo and Peg trying to rebrand herself as Princess Meghan lately. Good for King Charles for nipping that nonsense in the bud by immediately announcing the new Prince and Princess of Wales in his first speech as King.

It's a good portent for Charles' ability to deal with matters directly and elegantly. I thought his speech was very, very well-executed. And I detected quite a bit of Prince Philip coming through, in the way Charles subtly but decisively kneecapped any further Harkle delusions. The next few weeks should be very, very interesting.

Diwrnod Llywelyn ein Llyw Olaf hapus

Happy Llywelyn the Last day

Llywelyn ap Gruffudd oedd Tywysog olaf Cymru cyn concwest Edward y Cyntaf, a’r cyntaf i gael ei gydnabod fel hynny gan Frenin Lloegr. Sefydlwyd ef fel Tywysog Cymru gyda’r nôd i uno Cymru; nôd a chafodd ei wneud yn anodd iawn gan brenhinoedd Lloegr. Cafodd ei eni tua 1223 a bu farw ar y cyntaf ar ddeg o Ragfyr 1282.

Llywelyn son of Gruffudd was the last Tywysog (roughly meaning leader or guide) of Wales before the conquest of Edward the First, and the first to be recognised as such by the King of England. He rose with the goal to unite Wales; a goal which was made difficult by opposing English rulers. He was born around 1223 and died on the eleventh of December 1282.

Mae’n ddrwg gen i bostio hwn mor hwyr, darganfyddais i ei fod hi’n ddiwrnod Llywelyn ond pan welais i’r ebost golwg360 lol

Nid oes angen Tywysog ar Cymru.

Wales needs no Prince. Especially one from the family that murdered our last and stole our lands, language and title.

William, Catherine and Wales

William and Catherine have a more personal connection to Wales as Prince/Princess of Wales.

May 2019 Visiting old friends in Wales

Platinum Jubilee 2022 Charlotte/George's first royal engagement was to Cardiff, Wales with their parents

Friday, September 9, 2022 King Charles III address

"Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty," he added. "With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given."

William's investiture is likely to be very different than previous Princes of Wales.

His Majesty The King’s address to the Nation and the Commonwealth

I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow.  Throughout her life, Her Majesty The Queen – my beloved Mother – was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example.  Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today.  

Alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling, we also share with so many of you in the United Kingdom, in all the countries where The Queen was Head of State, in the Commonwealth and across the world, a deep sense of gratitude for the more than seventy years in which my Mother, as Queen, served the people of so many nations.  In 1947, on her twenty-first birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from Cape Town to the Commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her peoples.  That was more than a promise:  it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life.  She made sacrifices for duty.  Her dedication and devotion as Sovereign never waivered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss.  In her life of service we saw that abiding love of tradition, together with that fearless embrace of progress, which make us great as Nations.  The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign.  And, as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humour and an unerring ability always to see the best in people.  I pay tribute to my Mother’s memory and I honour her life of service.  I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you and I share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all.

The role and the duties of Monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign’s particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England – the Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted.  In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious  traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.  As The Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the Constitutional principles at the heart of our nation.  And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the Realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.

My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities.  It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply.  But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others.

This is also a time of change for my family.  I count on the loving help of my darling wife, Camilla.  In recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage seventeen years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort.  I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much.  As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me.  He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.  Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.  With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given.  I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.

In a little over a week’s time we will come together as a nation, as a Commonwealth and indeed a global community, to lay my beloved mother to rest.  In our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example.  On behalf of all my family, I can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support.  They mean more to me than I can ever possibly express.  And to my darling Mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you.  Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years.  May “flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest”.

“The hollow crown rounds the temples of a mortal king,”

…Or so, so, goes the quote from Shakespeare’s Richard II (I think the actual quote is slightly different but, alas, iambic pentameter or not, I personally prefer my butchered version to the original). Hauntingly beautiful, the quote has been dwelling in the shadows of my mind for quite some time, occupying the lightness when it recently unearthed itself as even more beautiful than I had remembered it to be. It is such a breathtaking quote, I think. There is slither of smoke suspended between my lips as each word leaves my mouth, feeling hardly spoken at all as it dissipates softly away into the air, as whispers do into the din. And yet it consumes my every thought, incessantly.  

I would love to say that my avid interest in literature is what lead me to become so utterly preoccupied with this quote, but alas, it was not. Refer, instead, to Season 3, Episode 6 - Tywysog Cymru - of The Crown.

Now, my hyperfixation on this show is quite ill-fitting. Although I am a firm anti-monarchist, I must admit, I do love it. There are some particularly exceptional performances compiled across the entire duration of the six season tv show, all of which I have come to understand as fictional depictions of borderline fictional characters, but I do particularly adore Josh O’Connor’s Prince Charles quite a bit. O’Connor’s portrayal of Prince Charles as a delicate, contemplative, profound young man was entirely transfixing and left me in complete awe. There was something so poignant and sincere in his depiction of the young prince’s inner turmoil; how he grapples with the iron constraints of responsibility; how he yearns to lead not with the crown of his head, but rather the softness of his heart.

And so, with the opening melody of Sufjan Stevens’ ‘futile devices’ playing on in the background, he goes “The hollow crown rounds the temples of a mortal king,” whispering under a pale orange light, in an empty dressing room. You cannot help but think of love and loss and life, of the greatness of it all in that moment, how it is lost to a mere symbol of the same thing – a false caricature of glory.

The crown is indeed powerful. It represents all that is of the almost ethereal, of dominion that is so close to godliness that it virtually touches the heavens with the tip of its diamond crested zenith. And yet, whilst we spend lifetimes on this earth, desperately struggling to immortalise ourselves, we forget there is only so much we can do. So high we can reach. So close we can get.

And, eventually, we must all come to know of the final ultimatum – commoner or king.  To know that there is only one God, and all other false idols must crumble under this true sovereignty.

And so the King– the most powerful man – is mortal - powerless to the end, as all things are. It is less and less a paradox, more and more so a bitter truth of life, which paradoxically sweetens life even more so than it should, perhaps as salt does to lemonade.

I cannot imagine, then, what it must be to sacrifice one’s life for such a meaningless pursuit. In the sheen of rubies, sapphires. diamonds, I imagine the young prince might see the glaring reflection of reality, sitting through ritual after ritual perpetually ruminating upon pointlessness. One may call it a tradition, all this grandeur; it does not seem so. It seems like a generational fetish for festering one’s life away, festooned as a gift. Is this a fool’s misjudgment? Reaching godlike heights, climbing the heavenly ladder to return the gift of life to the Gods as sacrifice.

Such a dutiful man, entirely missing the point.
