Investiture

Was he really invested in 1958, at age 10? I seem to recall that it happened in the mid-60s, when he was a late teenager (or maybe 20 or so) - the ceremony was held at Caernarvon, and I recall he'd memorized a short speech in Welsh for the occasion (he'd been at university in Wales to help prepare).

You're right! Thanks. According to the official bio he was created Prince of Wales in 1958, but not invested until much later. John Stephenson 05:00, 11 April 2008 (CDT)
