Edward VIII and the Modern Welsh Regalia
In 1911 the future Edward VIII was invested as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle - for this occasion, an event that mixed revivalism and innovation a new set of regalia was created that were heralded as the 'Honours of Wales'. In this video I chart the history of these objects, and look back to the past precedent of coronets and other symbols of princely dignity used by medieval and early modern Princes of Wales, heirs apparent to the English crown.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
