From the valleys of Wales , from the Scottish lochs and mountains, to that lovely Northern Irish accent, from Big Ben that rings the hour across the world, they are part of me, and you. Together we represent all that is good in the world, forgive our mistakes and quietly reflect upon our triumphs. We have fought the darkest enemy and will do so again if called. We have died on foreign soils but our souls .

Both my paternal and maternal grandparents all spoke Welsh, it was my parents who missed out, because if they spoke Welsh in school, they were punished. Mind you they used a lot of Welsh words, which I picked up , unfortunately I was born in England, due to the closing of the pits in the nineteen thirties. I was born in 1938. So I've had My DNA tested (because my son insisted that I'm English. I'm ,70% Welsh 19% Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, 9% Irish, 2% doesn't matter.

    Greetings from Sweden,Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" (Welsh pronunciation: [heːn wlɑːd və n̥adaɪ̯]) is the national anthem of Wales.[1] The title - taken from the first words of the song - means "Old Land of My Fathers" in Welsh, usually rendered in English as simply "Land of My Fathers". The words were written by Evan James and the tune composed by his son, James James, both residents of Pontypridd, Glamorgan, in January 1856.[1][2] The earliest written copy survives and is part of the collections of the National Library of Wales.[2]

      @@JimWalsh-rl5dj The Principality of Wales (which never covered the whole of Wales) ended in 1540s.
      Anyway, If Wales was a principality, which I remind you it is not, it would still be a country. Andorra, Monaco and Liechtenstein are all Principalities. Luxemburg is a Grand Dutchy a royal rank lower again. Being a country is separate from the monarchical or governance structures within the country.
