Wales: The Prince & The Plotter
Back to shortlistForty years ago on 1st July
1969, Wales celebrated one of the greatest royal events of the 20th Century; the Investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales. The day
epitomised royal pomp and circumstance, not in London but in the heart
of nationalist Wales. Broadcast to a global audience, it was a
day of tradition, ceremony and pageantry; but also a day of bombs and
threats to the Royal Family.
Huw Edwards recounts the events of an
extraordinary day when police, politicians and royalty held their breath
as a few nationalists plotted violence against the Investiture.
