A story spanning a thousand years of Welsh and English history
with Schoolchildren of Caernarvon and Windsor

There have been more than twenty Princes of Wales before the one who is to be invested next Tuesday at Caernarvon Castle. Centuries ago the title was invented by the Welsh. Since Edward I conquered Wales and filled the land with his formidable castles, it has been the prerogative of the monarchs of England to bestow the title on their eldest sons.
This programme tells the story of this famous office and looks at some of the fascinating men, both Welsh and English, who have held or claimed it.
