PRINCE OF WALES

Prince of Wales is the title of the heir apparent of the British throne. It was first conferred by Edward I on his son, who afterwards was Edward II, at the time of his conquest of the Principality of Wales. Edward III was never
Prince of Wales, but the title has been conferred on all the male heirs- apparent to the English (and afterwards British) throne from Edward the Black Prince, son of Edward III. The heir-apparent is made Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester by special creation and investiture, or by proclamation, but as the king's eldest son he is by inheritance Duke of Cornwall.
