Why is the Heir to the British Throne Called the Prince of Wales?

- The son of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, is of course called the Prince of Wales. But why is that, when he's part of the English royal family? Well, it has to do with a story of war, political intrigue, and conquest.

Thanks for watching!
And yes, I know I mispronounced Worcester, y'all can stop telling me (but I know you won't).
more offended by the butchered welsh names xD
@@spexbeanfarmer I'm English but even I cringed 😅
Can you, or have you done a video on how women are included or excluded in certain systems as supreme leader? I have often heard about kings that want a son so he can be the next monarch...
It's not the only thing you mispronounced!
I came here to say exactly that! Lol... sorry.
You should add an errata to this comment, actually including the correct pronounciation...
"Having grown discontented with English rule... " must be one of the most common descriptors in history, about the start of any sort of rebellion.
Yeah we did get around a fair bit in our younger days. Settled down now though kind of just sit by the fire with a book until one of the cousins starts a fight.
Yup, all the countries that now have democracy and freedom.
Ha!
Laughing in the USA 🤣
The English are there now!
You missed my favorite story, that the King of England promised the Welsh royals that he would name as Prince of Wales a royal prince who spoke no English. However, in keeping his promise, he tricked them by naming his infant son, who couldn’t talk at that point as Prince of Wales, instead of one of them.
real life 100 speech check
Trickery..Ed the first is my favorite king
The story says that the Welsh nobles put three conditons to the invader English king before he could designate the first Prince of Wales, in 1284:
1: the infant must be born in Wales.
2: the infant must be of royal blood.
3: the infant must not speak a single word of English.
The English king simply presented his newborn son, who had been born in Wales only a few days before, who was of Royal blood, and, obviously, who spoke no word at all yet, neither in English or any other language.
@@juanitolopez9731 Did the Welsh cry foul over this and demand a Welsh person?
You missed the best part of the story. After defeating the Welsh rebels Longshanks decided to quiet the rebellious lords by declaring that he would appoint a prince, born in wales, to the title Prince of Wales This seemed to make the welsh princes happy until he appointed his son, who had been born in wales, and was a prince, Prince of Wales.
Trolling is very very medieval.
Yeah. Never happened, though.
@@narannavan I don't don't know.. but the rule of a good story is to never let the truth get in it's way.
Yes, ye Olde Trollinge.
@5:51
You forgot to add to the (mythical) story that he also promised not only would the prince be born in Wales, but wouldn't speak English, which of course the baby didn't.
When they call NI “the quiet one”…
*whispers- who’s gonna tell him*
Innit...
Don’t think he is up to date on recent history. Northern Ireland certainly haven’t been quiet
well you're whispering sooooo....
Exactly
The quiet ones with schizophrenic neighbours.
The heir to the throne of the United Kingdom isn't automatically titled The Prince of Wales. But the title The Prince of Wales can only be bestowed upon the heir to the throne.
I heard that now Prince William will now be the Prince of Wales. That is good, but I still do not know if it is out of respect for Llewellyn the Great and Wales or a power grab.
Is that why Queen Elizabeth II was never Princess of Wales despite being heir since childhood? Or is it only a male inheritance?
@@saundracarter-hebert think was more out of her dad not expecting to be king but the title of Princess of wales can exist - does exist
@@saundracarter-hebert her uncle who was meant to be king was the prince of Wales but when he vacated the throne she became queen
@@saundracarter-hebert the title Princess of Wales is only given to the wife of the Prince of Wales. Since 1631, the eldest daughter of the monarch can be given the title Princess Royal, however the title was never available for Queen Elizabeth II during the reign of her father King George VI as her aunt Princess Mary already had the title (When the monarch’s eldest daughter receives the title Princess Royal she keeps it for life unless she becomes queen). When Mary died in 1965, Elizabeth was already queen thus she couldn’t inherit the title.
Your forgot to add that Wales has the coolest flag lol
Yes, a dragon is on the flag.
Can't disagree with you there, Wales has a great flag 👍
@@mehhandle I'm from the USA. I've been to Wales. There were a lot of people with the last names Jones and Evans in Wales. Also, the Welsh word for stop has a lot of letters in it.
I think you mean 'Malta'
@@davea6314 Surprisingly, the second most common surname in Wales is Davies. I thought Evans and Williams and Hughes would be more common.

Wales is arguably older than England seeing how the Britons used to inhabit those lands.
Old tends to be congquer by the young bcoz how old they are. Always happened that way.
@@gideonroos1188 Actually there is no definitive example of a country. And Wales was most definitely recognised as a separate nation as the Welsh were recognised as a people divided by a boarder between the "English" counties.
@@gideonroos1188 when the Anglo saxons first arrived they called the Britons "walla" which eventually changed into Welsh/Wales in the English language, they knew it was a country and the Welsh themselves reffered to each other as cymru which from what I understand translates into "fellow countrymen" I'm no expert but that's more or less how it was after the Romans left.
@@gideonroos1188 with that logic aincent Greece wasn't a country at all as it consisted of warring city states.
@@gideonroos1188 I can't tell if you're trolling me now so this has to be my last comment on the matter, the Greeks referenced themselves as greeks in Greece constantly, from what I know even Philip of macedons planned invasion of persia was literally meant to be a united Greek invasion. Countries aren't defined by literal governments but by the people who live there and its really down to them if it is a country and with Wales it definitely was the case as in their language they literally call each other countrymen
I found the title "Prince of Wales" to be quite curious! Although I vaguely knew about the medieval Principality of Wales, this video provided me with plenty more information, including the possible "first" Princes of Wales, the story of the conquest of Wales, and even how the future Charles III gave his investiture speech... in Welsh!

Great video! I really enjoyed it..For future reference Worcester is pronounced 'Wus-ster' ..I'm from the UK and we have a few places that are not pronunced in an obvious way Leicester and Middlesbrough being 2 examples..I believe it has something to do with the vowel shift, place names were pronunced different ways over the centuries and the spelling didn't always match..Maybe a cool topic for a future video!! Keep up the great work ✌
I'm not from the UK but I've been a fan of British comedy for a long time now and the way they say the place names a lot of times really makes me confused 😅 that would be a nice idea for a video also, how it came about.

Unfortunately, I had to decline due to some family reasons. For language quirks, basically our "official" language is Filipino which is a strange combination of a local language (Tagalog), Spanish, and English - with a smattering of Chinese and Malay. A Swiss colleague of mine who knows Spanish and English claims he can understand what we were talking about in Filipino due to the number of familiar words. And oh, we have a local Spanish Creole language in some places here too due to over 300 years of Spanish occupation

Technically Scotland is older than England
All of the Celtic populations are older than England
Wales is older than Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. The Cymru ('Welsh' in English) tribes fought the Romans.
What about the British overseas territories and special regions like Isle of Man and the Channel Islands? Would be interested to see you cover these topics too
Wow. Great video mate! Please make moreeee
Very interesting,thank you
Did you just call Wales, Englands younger brother? You realise Wales is basically what remains of Britannia before Roman invasion, before there even was an England, right?
Correct, the Welsh are the original and indigenous Britons.
The ignorance of this video is a testament to the lack of proper education of its creators.
I think at least somebody was already in Britain before the Celts came over from Europe in the then shallow sea, not sure when. 1500bc?
Don't be so hard on this video maker, he did well. It's UA-cam. Good grief.
@@MissBabalu102 Precisely. Because it's on UA-cam, we have the right to criticize it as we see fit. Calling Wales "England's younger brother" is plainly false and the creator should be called out for it

Very cool. Many thanx 👍👍
Very informative, well animated and entertaining. Including the ‘English’ pronunciations in particular The Treaty of ‘Wuster’
The double L in "Llewelyn" is pronounced at the sides of your tongue. Like in Aztec the word "Tlatoani". Think Sid the Sloth when pronouncing Welsh double Ls.
How do you manage to make that sound with nothing before it? I've been trying to get it to work but I've just been sitting and saying "Llewelyn" over and over again.
He couldn’t even pronounce Worcester correctly and that’s in English! Pronouncing Llewelyn in Welsh is asking a bit much, don’t you think?
It’s a hiss from the back of your mouth. It’s so much easier to pronounce words this way.
@@heyjohna lol, it may be English, but don't act like the pronunciation makes sense.

Help.
Nicely done!
I see a lot of nit pickers here. They're right. You gotta get the details correct.
thanks for video
I realize that history is fraught with disagreements, but this is an incredibly biased telling of the history of English conquest of Wales. It also has a lot of inaccuracies, and states some English claims as fact in spite of documentary evidence that contradicts those claims. However the most egregious thing about this telling is that it leaves out the most interesting parts of the story. For instance, the Welsh lords told Edward they would never bend the knee to a Prince of Wales who spoke English and had not been born in Wales. Edward took his pregnant wife to the still incomplete castle in Caernarfon (the true hinterlands of that time). When his son was born, he later crowned him "Prince of Wales," telling the lords that their conditions had been met.
Indeed, Longshanks is the OG pre-Interneet Troll and never to be doubted.
Oh, so that's why the castle's name is stuck to his name. I just saw this vid and I thought it was weird.
This is false.
This is what happens when Americans take over UK history 🙄
@@paulinecoburn181 😂😂
Charles is not the crown prince of England, he's heir to the UK throne. You also say the "countries" of the UK are "coequal". They are not equal. The powers of the NI, Scottish and Welsh devolved governments are different and England has no devolved government at all. Furthermore, you make it sound like the UK is a federation. It isn't. And I have no idea how you could describe NI as "quiet". Ever heard of the troubles? Heard of the brexit Irish border issue?
The term Crown Prince is used to denote an heir to the throne. He's not called that here, but foreigners would use that term and it's not strictly wrong. The initial description, though, wasn't accurate. Calling England "popular". 😂 Can't watch much European-centric sport, then.
@@daviddavies3637 the issue isn't "crown prince", it's "of England". That title doesn't exist.
Ty.. ur from?
Scotland is pretty coequal considering they joined via marriage of crowns, not conquest

Good Show!
Worcester is pronounced “Wuss-ter,” not “War-sester.” See also: Gloucester (“Gloss-ter”) and Leicester (“Less-ter”)
The Welsh pronunciations were even worse, but this too
Thank you sir.. you must pardon us the brutes of America
Usually I’d just tell Americans to pronounce Leicester like Lester form gta they usually understand then
I think the problem is “Worcestershire sauce” giving him the pronunciation wuss-tuh-sher
@@Kinghavs Worcester, MA is pronounced same as the British.
Prince of Asturias (Spain), Prince of Orange ( Dutch) are also princes that could get the throne in the future in their respective countries.

Both heirs are princesses

Very interesting!
Impeccable timing, UA-cam recommendations.
He’s also known (if only by himself) as the Duke of Cornwall, in subjugation of the proud Kernowyon Celts, the fifth country comprising the United (or Subjugated) Queendom.
In fact, the male heir (things have now changed with the changes in the rules of the order of succession in order to remove primogeniture) was created Duke of Cornwall at birth, and only later Prince of Wales at the discretion of the sovereign.
I was under the impression that in pre-Saxon times some folk would count Cornwall as part of Wales. I'm not sure exactly where that border was. The Tamar?
And if you want a strange Royal Duke, consider the Duke of Lancaster. The Duchy of Lancaster certainly exists: it can have a Chancellor (who, if appointed, sits in The Cabinet). Yet the Duke of Lancaster is strangely absent. Of all the Royal Dukes, the Duke of Lancaster never appears to pay homage to the crown and never takes a seat in the House of Lords.
Well that's not quite true. Many years ago the Duke of Lancaster took a seat in the House of Lords and still has it. It's that fancy one at the front.
Once the Duke of Lancaster defeated the Duke of York, the Duke of Lancaster became King. The Monarch grants all the other titles, and holds all titles not currently granted to anyone else, but does not have the string of lower titles most other peers have. The Monarch acts as Duke of Lancaster, has all the benefits of being Duke of Lancaster (and a very rich Dukedom it is too) and will never ever grant the title Duke of Lancaster to anyone else, but it would make no heraldic sense at all to say the King is Duke of Lancaster.
Which, in some ways, is a shame.

I like the brothers analogy for anyone outside of the UK who doesn’t know the kingdoms that comprise it… however I can tell you that using that analogy inside of the UK will only get you beaten up, atleast by anyone not from England.
It's a rather faulty analogy. Wales is hardly the "youngest brother".
you summed things up nicely but omitted the story that Edward 1to tey and make the Welsh lords amenable to English rule promised them a prince who could speak no word of English and as his pregnant wife was about to give birth while they were in Carnarvon showed the newly born infant, who was unable to talk, to the assembled lords as the promised Prince of Wales who could speak no English
I thought the same.
Even if the Prince could talk, he still wouldn't have spoken a word of English. English monarchs didn't start speaking English until like the 1400s.
@@SRosenberg203 Edward the first would have been speaking English
@@nirnman He might have had a few words or phrases, but he certainly wasn't fluent. The language of the Court was Norman-French until like Henry V.
@@SRosenberg203 while it was Henry V who promoted English as the language for the court earlier kings especially Edward I who had learned English as a child they were probably a least able to speak and understand both Norman-French and English

You just did what I said isn't correct. A British accent covers all those accents in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, all British!

“Worcester” is pronounced “wooster,” with the “oo” being short, like in “cook.” This applies to the city or county in England, as well as the city in Massachusetts.

Actually pronunciation can vary wildly within a language. You are correct that the locals pronounce it that way... which is arguably the correct way. But regional variations in pronunciation aren't really what you'd call wrong. They're just different. Many English speaking countries and regions pronounce things differently. Not to forget that words and pronunciation can also change with time.

Just a little note"
Worcester is pronounced wooster with the double o sounding like woof
He’s part of the British royal family, not the English royal family

I can assure you that there are few million of us in Wales who know the history and despise it....centuries of oppression are not going to be forgiven....
"Worcestshir" 🤣 aww...makes me remember my young days in the UK when I didn't know why people are missing out whole letters in their pronunciation
Wales are infact the oldest of the country's by about 10.000 years
Thank you I was just about the comment the same thing, he also brushed over the fact Llywelyn the Great fought the English and won most of the battles, and that Treaty of Worcester was the only way that Henry III could save face
Oldest by 10 years? That's an odd statement to make really. If we're talking about the 4 parts of the UK, and when they as that particular entity was a fully independent sovereign country:
England, 927 to 1707
Scotland, 843 to 1707
Wales 1216 to 1546
Northern Ireland has never been independent. It was created in 1921, and didn't exist before
Cornwall, 722 to 838
A few notes though. When the Norman invasion was over, the Normans didn't control all of what's now England. The Lake District wasn't in England yet for a start.
Edinburgh wasn't even in Scotland when Scotland was formed. It was in a neighbouring country of Lothian that was later absorbed.
Some of the dates are kinda arbitrary. Like there was an England arguably once Wessex had conquered Essex, Kent, Sussex, Middlesex and East Anglia. That was the first kingdom of the angles here. Conquering mercia (the Midlands) and Northumbria (the north of England), was a fair bit later. Similar with Wales, there was a Wales sure, but it only covered Gwynedd to start and then later on more of north and central Wales. I'm not sure if that ever covered as much as modern Wales.
@@aodhanmonaghan4664 How was Wales was independent and Sovereign between 1216 and 1546? They were subsumed into the English Crown in 1283 by Edward Longshanks. If we want to talk about Wales being independent and sovereign, I'd say we have to go back to Owain Fawr, Llewlyn's grandfather, who ruled Wales from like 1137 and 1170. His men nearly killed Henry II of England during an invasion one time, and Henry never seriously tried to conquer Wales after that.
@@SRosenberg203 a merger of crowns also happened with Scotland too. Whilst the king of England controlled the new territory it was still legally separate.
It's the same reason we don't say that the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg was part of the Kingdom of Great Britain despite the fact they shared a monarch, and i suppose the nearest equivalent today could be how Australia is sovereign adjective yet shares a sovereign noun with the UK
*sad San Marino noises*
Its like the heir to the iron throne is called prince or princess of dragonstone
i see where GRRM got his ideas from
As for a person who’s a complete outsider regarding this topic, I must say this was quite interesting to get to know at least a vague explanation of how comes that the heir of Great Britain, living in England, for wte reason is a Prince of Wales.
In my country Wales as a country is just as an alien topic as my country everywhere else outside my country, so, going through The Crown and finding out a bit more info regarding Wales felt quite relatable. Otherwise, actually, we have heard here of Wales mostly only in the context of, ironically, English royals.
Some very creative pronunciations

Whenever I’ve heard an American pronounce it, it sounds more as if the “t” is replaced with a “d” (or more like a “dt”) with variations on the “a” depending on region.
