EUB Y Tywysog Henry o Gymru & Ms Markle.
No! I'm not really bi-lingual; I lifted that off some GB stamps. grin
Today, received our 2019 calendar from our old neighbour in Windsor; our regular Christmas practice and I was interested in the postage (sea-mail) consisting of 2X £1.50 stamps and 2X 1st. stamps each with nice photos of the loving couple. I could check with Google of course, but what's a 1st. worth? confused

Ei Ucheldeb Brenhinol (His Royal HIghness).

HRH Prince Henry of Wales and Ms Markel

He was Henry Wales until he was given a title this year , he is not ‘of Wales’

NfkDumpling Tue 13-Nov-18 15:42:11

I’d just worked it out! I’m thick and need time!

oldgimmer1 Tue 13-Nov-18 15:45:25

I'm confused as well. What's the difference between Henry Wales and Henry of Wales?

I guess he can't be Prince of Wales while Charlie is?

Does he automatically become PoW when Charlie gets the throne?

merlotgran Tue 13-Nov-18 15:46:53

I always thought he was officially called Prince Henry of Wales from birth until his marriage.

AlieOxon Tue 13-Nov-18 15:57:55

I tried Google Translate and it said 'Her Royal Highness'......

Anniebach Tue 13-Nov-18 16:00:49

He will never be Prince of Wales oldgimmer if the title is handed on when Charles becomes King it will go to William.

As there has to be a Prince of Wales Charles has done ok, doubt William will . Harry has no interest in Wales, he does visit this area to see a fsmily he is very close to, has done since a child.

The new bridge recently opened caused anger when it was named The Prince of Wales bridge after Charles.

Were they no known as William Wales and Harry Wales at school and during military service ?

Anniebach Tue 13-Nov-18 16:18:58

Yes ninathenana

BlueBelle Tue 13-Nov-18 16:20:17

Well I guess he could be a Prince of Wales if anything happened to William

Anniebach Tue 13-Nov-18 16:23:28

Gulp, thanks BlueBelle . But if William was to die before Charles, George would be heir not Harry

merlotgran Tue 13-Nov-18 16:36:13

They were known as William Wales and Harry Wales at school and as serving military personnel so they had a first name and surname like their peers.

The of is part of their official styling.

Same as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York.

Anniebach Tue 13-Nov-18 16:54:46

Well Harry is free of it , he is 100% English now

oldgimmer1 Tue 13-Nov-18 20:06:28

alie ei translates as his OR her in Welsh.

Jalima1108 Tue 13-Nov-18 20:32:57

Does he automatically become PoW when Charlie gets the throne?
No, as Annie said, that will be William then George.

Harry:
He was officially styled Prince Henry of Wales from birth until his marriage
Or Harry Wales

merlotgran Tue 13-Nov-18 20:38:42

That's what I said, Jalima hmm

merlotgran Tue 13-Nov-18 20:39:12

The Harry bit.

Anniebach Tue 13-Nov-18 20:58:18

If queenie hadn’t given William and Harry new titles when they married we would now have

Prince William of Wales

Princess William of Wales

Prince George of Wales

Princess Charlotte of Wales

Prince Louie of Wales

Prince Henry of Wales

Princess Henry of Wales.

New baby ? Miss or Master Wales

Maybe she was fed up with the card game and decided to shake things up a bit.
