Petition to Abolish Prince of Wales Title Amasses 36,000 Signatures Online

Following the coronation of King Charles III and the passing of the Queen, Prince William and Kate, now Princess of Wales, have been advised to cut back on unnecessary frills and faff in their new roles.

The royal couple made their first official trip to Wales by travelling to the island of Anglesey, but a Change.org petition calling for the abolition of the Prince of Wales title has garnered close to 36,000 signatures.

Ahmed Scobie, the royal executive editor for Yahoo!

News, has encouraged the pair to make a concerted effort to ensure the monarchy does not seem grossly out of touch.

This is especially true given the UK's ongoing cost of living crisis, which this week saw the Bank of England warn of a significant interest rate rise, and the British pound hit a record low against the US dollar.

Welsh people, who are all too familiar with the extravagant ceremony at Caernarfon Castle, during which the Queen adorned Charles with a gold coronet and swathed him in sumptuous robes, eagerly greeted the news that William had no intention of performing the same lavish investiture that his father conducted in 1969 when he was made the Prince of Wales.

The ceremony was so negatively received during a time of economic hardship in the nation that there were protests and even a bomb plot.

Cutting back on unnecessary frills and faff should be part of a concerted effort to ensure that the monarchy does not seem grossly out of touch, the author continued.

Scobie stated that the royal family's ostentatious display of wealth and power is a moment no one is looking to repeat given the conflicting reactions some people in the nation still have to William and Kate's new titles – over 35,000 have signed a petition calling to end the Prince of Wales moniker, branding it a symbol of historical oppression.

It was revealed this week that the Prince of Wales has no plans to hold an investiture ceremony to formally mark gaining his new title, unlike when Charles received the title during an event at Cairnarfon Castle in July 1969.

William is now just concerned in gradually earning the people of Wales' trust and respect, rather than holding an investiture ceremony.

The new Princess of Wales understands the heritage connected with this post, but will obviously want to look to the future, as she forges her own path, a royal insider stated following the Queen's passing.

The new Prince of Wales spoke with Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford over the phone in the days following the Queen's passing, and expressed his great passion for Wales.

William expressed his and the Princess of Wales' honour in being asked by the King to serve the Welsh people.

During the couple's trip to Swansea on Tuesday, William chatted with Reverend Stephen Bunting from St Thomas Church, who expressed confidence in their level of dedication to their duty as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The Prince of Wales even mentioned learning Welsh, claiming to have picked up words like pained, which means cup of tea, and bar a breath.

He seems to be taking his role as Prince of Wales extremely seriously.

In conclusion, the royal couple has been advised to cut back on unnecessary frills and faff in their new roles as Prince and Princess of Wales.

A Change.org petition calling for the abolition of the Prince of Wales title has garnered close to 36,000 signatures.

William has no plans for any form of an investiture ceremony, unlike his father, which has been positively received by Welsh people.
