Prince Charles' Welsh Speech | The Crown 

Tech also what could do a color analysis of Mrs. Millward compared with the Queen and Princess Anne. Earlier we see mrs. Bill Ward wearing a lot of pink outfits: The cardigans she wears with the shirt dress with a few pink bits when professor Bill word tells her of his assignment to teach Welsh to Prince Charles, the house dress with the gold and white and pink patterns with the pig pubs that she wears with Prince Charles comes over for dinner, and the pink and white nightie she wears to bed when she discusses with Professor Millward what she's observed about Charles watching their family. I like to compare and contrast that to The Pink suit that the Queen wears when she discusses Charles and her assignment that she was sent out in the hopes that she would forget about Phillip. And Mrs. Millward is wearing a yellow and blue dress which could be compared to a man who's wearing a blue suit with matching hat and earlier when Charles calls Anne on the phone and she's wearing blue jeans (!) and a blue sweater and later when she's in disguise watching Prince Charles perform.

Not to mention it's his Great Uncle (Mountbatten) who comes to get him ready and wish him luck, not his father. That says a lot. But the ending remarks from the Queen about noone wanting to hear his voice, were really the worst. Simply mean.

Because he did, while as just a man he can have his opinions, as future king he can't show he is more favorable to one region of the Common Wealth than others. His future role demands from him that he must be impartial and not give away personal opinions or thoughts, the Queen knows this and has lived with this frustrations, she may have been harsh but it gave him a dose of reality.

Just a show. Theres a lot thats just dramatised for effect. Majority of this stuff is imagined conversations. The makers or anyone else, have no way of knowing the actual private conversations that took place.

Charles immediately repeated the Welsh portion of his speech in English.

RIP :(

To be fair, the very last Habsburgs are very proactive in learning the language of their various subjects, from Polish to Ukranian. Their attempt was to become assimiliated leader of the various nationalized kingdoms, but because of their shared bloodlines become a "confederacy" of aligned Habsburg rulers.

People dont learn i stg- no wonder the rains of castamere will probably play in diana and charles' wedding lmao

well, the ira did not trust him thats for sure

After all, he's the head of houses Mountbatten and Lannister

I loved his casting and princess Alice there casting was great plus tobiz needed redemption after playing Edmure

That might be why he got the part!

Also looks like him, especially the ears

@@naznimation Maybe the ears help with the voice. They cause reverberations or something. lol

Dirty English

Such a beautiful language

Sounds like someone just had a lot of dental work done

Once i met in a welsh family here in Rome, they used welsh as 1st language, very emotional from me, because it's the only celtic language widely spoken today and because welsh was the reason why young Tolkien felt in love with language when just a child

This is a... tv show

@@jamesturner9388 @James: This might just be a TV show, but (now King) Charles really gave this speech decades ago when he became Prince of Wales.

I love how he has the same tendencies to slurr together a string of words while not using his mouth much at all like how tobias menzies does it in his portrayal of Philip. I don't know if that's just a british accent thing I'm not privy to or if it's more of a personal touch of both actors but it's very fun seeing the similarities. And there is some (probably unintended) symbolism in the fact that both the welsh speaking bit and the theater excercises (2 things Philip is portrayed as looking down upon to a certain degree) make Charles to the complete opposite by opening his mouth all the way while speaking.

You do realize this is script for TV and has to be sensational if not true.

​@@gerryfennelly3726 so what? the acting was good nonetheless

@@introvertdude842 My point exactly it is acting.

@@gerryfennelly3726 thanks for pointing out the complete obvious lmao, why can't you just praise josh and go

Yeah the show doesn't mention that. Probably because it wouldn't be relevant to the main theme of the episode, which was about representation and language.

Cymro 65 I watched the episode last night. I don’t think I remember a character like that.

Charles made a serious effort to respect the Welsh culture. Thats the essential point, athough his parents were jealous of his success.

I’m was told they had stuff like this and the parts when people were falsely arrested and had fake cases against them but cut it or something.

@wildebest Having lived in Wales, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little accurate with pub culture. But you're right, the show is propaganda and doesn't do a good job highlighting the flaws of the monarchy.

need to bring democracy?

Napolyon Kiraz Kompleksi Don’t worry there is no oil in Wales

@@sebastianlodge7549 maybe some welsh liquids define themselves as petroleum.

Sebastian Lodge Just a bunch of coal that is largely unprofitable to mine these days. Wales is basically the West Virginia of Great Britain.

@@sebastianlodge7549 Actually I'm Welsh and we do have oil off our southern coast

and then he had the gall to be mad that mountbatten wanted charles to speak at his funeral

@@darmycortes7612 because for a long time Mountbatten stood as Philip's father figure too Eventually he grew up as people do, and Mountbatten knew he could handle himself When Charles was born, Mountbatten took a fatherly role too, one Philip had a hard time with So Philip was mad that Charlws was considered the "son" to speak at the funeral and not him. Less about his relationship to charles ans more about both of their near identical relationships to Mountbatten

I frankly found it surprising there was another major language on the British Isle aside from English, i never knew Welsh was a completely distinct language.

@@mragunathan1627 there are also Scottish and Irish Gaelic. Scots is also sometimes considered a different language, though it is much closer to English

@@mragunathan1627 there's approx 5 native languages English is the linguga franc but lots of people speak a second language

Definitely makes people sympathise and see him in a different light.

@@lordfortqui this is before Diana

@@PabloEscobar-gy6cu doesn’t matter forced marriage not his fault , the queen has messed up with her sisters and sons marriages, and trapped prince Philip in one. She messes her close one lives up 24/7

Was not expecting to feel so sorry for him when I started watching the series (just finished this episode)

Marigold In Blue Moondust was the most boring episode of this season. Bubbikins was much better.

@@ruinnaimperii4686 Bubbikins was entertaining but the inaccuracies are so many that it makes the episode for me, unwatchable. It was also a little too pushy with the inaccuracies. It's a bit similar to Aberfan but the inaccuracies are not littered throughout expect for the ending of that episode. Now, Moondust was boring because it was slow. It was turning to show the mundane side of life. I think after watching the episode and deeper introspection. It is a great character study for a man like Prince Philip. It also reinforces the lesson given to him by Princess Alice at the end of that episode. Overall, the episode is boring and I don't think I'll watch it again but it succeeded in what it attempted.

Well, you also have to admit that Margaretology is another crown jewel. It is an incredible case study to Princess Margaret and the ending says a thousand words without saying anything.

@@Mrchair-bk5ns dirty limericks are really all I need to enjoy myself.

Hyde Park Corner had the most dramatic scenes and best speeches. So no

I think he still is.

he still is, diana is a child. and this marriage was never to be made

@@commanderbeareladshahar6258 Oh yes, while I feel bad for Diana, I also feel bad for Charles and Camilla

@@commanderbeareladshahar6258 Diana probably couldn't understand what she was really signing up for, after all no 19 year old could. Let alone a 19 year old with little to no relationship experience, marrying the very experienced 33 year old future King, in love with someone else, who he still loves today, fifty years since meeting her. That was never going to work out well. Like who's idea was that. It really wasn't her fault. But that marriage was no where near Charles' fault.

The way his family treated him for things like this is what made him as unsympathetic as he is

I wish they got more attention. I learned Old Irish in college (just for fun, though, as I'm a computer scientist), but there weren't even any resources that I could get my hands on. No books, no videos, no audios, not even a dictionary.

I think Camilla made Charles happy, Camilla was the one Charles wanted to marry, but the royal fam found her unsuitable to be his wife, like come on, they dragged Diana into their mess and made her suffer.

@@naidastephanie9508 so Charles is innocent of what Diana had to go through just because of his family? Charles fault was he abused Diana into some fantasy marriage that was just to please dearest mummy.

@@makhtar6769 nope, Charles is not innocent, I'm just saying that what I said contributed to it, but it is his fault that Diana suffered so much, and I hate him for that.

​@@naidastephanie9508 If Simon Day really is their son, they met way before the official story.

@@falconeshieldI am assuming that it is prophesied that Charles will eventually be killed by Simon Day stabbing him with a spear, while he himself kills him with Excalibur.

It is. It sounds very nice when spoken fluently. Unfortunately it sounds like klingon when learners use it. It was one of J.R.R. Tolkien's favourite language's

@@WalesTheTrueBritons sounds like Klingon 😂

@@WalesTheTrueBritons Well, ya gotta start somewhere.

@@WalesTheTrueBritons @Truth Before Opinions : I think that's a very rude way to put it, considering that Welsh is neither Josh O'Connor's (the actor) nor Prince (now King) Charles' first language. It doesn't even have the same linguistic root (English is a Germanic Language, whereas Welsh is (Insular) Celtic), so of course the pronunciation is hard for them.

Not really

Wrong - title isn't inherited! It's a ceremonial one, not the De Jure which kesns it must be bestowed upon. The de jure was taken into hiding by Owain Glyndwr in the 15th century.

@@WalesTheTrueBritons I think SamIAm was referring to Princess Diana, who turned 8 on the day of Charles' investiture. She WAS the Princess of Wales.

@@delphinidin she was never and will never be the true princess of wales. That title belongs to Gwenllian.

At her grace and favor on Sandringham estate.

WoW! 😮

She doesn't understand that part of the speech but she's mad at him later in the episode when she gets the translation.

Welsh family took the English crown in 1485 on the battlefield, who's bloodline still runs to the monarchy today. They do tend to overlook that one.

you are right and the english will never know ;)

Oh man your comment was literally my lol moment

Thats my Charles live up to his name

Dew it

Charles is the senate

Spain doesn't recognize it as a nation and it's constitution doesn't allow demoicratic self determination so it would be unlikley to say the least and probably much less impactful as Catalonia is one of the richest parts of Spain while Wales is one of the Poorest of the UK.

That sounds about right. Lots of mixing through the centuries though.

If you consider the Welsh to be Celts then there were already people all over Britain when they showed up.

@@PsammeadSand Actually thats not true Sand, The welsh and scots/irish are the peoples who succesfully fled from the invaders. Wales for example was never truly conquered (just occupied) by the romans, saxons, normans or even the english. Sure through mixing of peoples its doubtful any true blooded welsh exist these days. But they are the original britons.

Wrong, Anglo-Saxons made up only 30% of the population when they conquered Britain, and historians have long debunked the idea that the native britons were genocided or driven to the verges of the islands, the Anglo-Saxons imposed their language and culture on the people but genetically with a little German admixture those people remained the same.

@Celtic Pagan Or the Iberians

Clearly you are wrong

Cymru*

They all have some loanwords from English. And they are all as unintelligible as Russian to a monolingual English speaker. What is peculiar to Welsh is that it has several hundred common words that entered the language from Latin when Britain was part of the Roman Empire.

Well it was Henry 7ths first language and Queen Elizabeth 1st spoke it fluently, don't know about any others.

Absolutely.

@@cambs0181 I knew that Elizabeth 1st spoke several European languages, but I had no idea she spoke Welsh.

No one cares. No one.

@E. Wow bro! 🤣👎🏻

All Americans want to be anything other than English they’re all welsh Scottish or Irish it’s funny

@Noke I actually have passion for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 as well too don’t worry.

@@Evey94Marti I do. I also care that he sports a wiphala flag.

Well in the Season 4 after building up Charlie, the Crown totally tears him down showing him being mean to his wife lol

Okay, I thought I spied some sedition there. Not having seen the series, that pause and Anne's small grin spoke volumes to me.

Honestly Elizabeth and Philip loved each other too much for anyone else. They were too hands off as parents and really only had anykind of role once they became adults

what nonsense

CAMILLA (correct spelling) will be a great Queen. She has always made her husband of more than 17 years happy, and she has worked very hard to be a credit to the royal family -- after Diana had a long string of adulterous affairs, three of which were with married men, finally getting herself killed with her SIXTH adulterous lover, when she didn't bother to fasten her seatbelt.

diolch?🤍

Correct about every bit, except that last part.

Damn, that's some heavy shit.

Yes, but that history was changed when the Welshman Henry Tudor became King Henry VII. Charles is a direct descendant.

@@malcolmlowe3833 Henry Tudor was very popular with the Welsh at the time because of his gesture politics and waving the Welsh flag but he still didn’t do anything to change the circumstances. We still have an English Prince of Wales.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s a swine for English speakers to pronounce. I know what all the letters mean, but I can’t make my mouth do those things! I can do the LL though 😉

@Caster Gil 🤢

My grandmother was from Ludlow near the Welsh border I almost got there but couldn't bear a train ride alone.

All the home nations like to bully each other :DDDDDD

Charles has indicated to a reporter who asked him about it that he will NOT put his son through such an experience. Expect a modest ceremony in Cardiff, acknowledging the capital of Welsh autonomy, and not in Caernarfon Castle, a relic of the subjection of Wales by Edward I.

Him and Gus Johnson both

my feelings about elizabeth's casting

It sucks to hear this, I hoped it would be more historically accurate

I agree! It's disgusting how many people watched "The Crown" and thought it was historically accurate. There were FAR too many scenes that *never happened,* written by hack scriptwriters pretending to know what two people might have said to each other when there was NOBODY ELSE THERE -- least of all the writers of this rubbish. I often think Charles and Camilla should sue them for the lies it tells about THEM while making Diana look so innocent -- when the truth is Diana cheated on Charles FIRST only four years into their marriage, according to the head of their security. And she went on to have SIXTH adulterous affairs, three of which were with married men. People keep calling QUEEN CAMILLA his "mistress", when she's already been his loving WIFE for longer than Diana ever was -- and their MARRIAGE is still going strong.

What do about Camilla., the charade of addressing her as HRH Duchess of Lancaster, the Princess Consort, in lieu of her constituti9onal title of Queen Consort is also a major problem. The British peoples have indicated to pollsters they do not want to see Camilla anointed, with a Crown put on her head.

@@eddihaskell the britishers hate Camilla. Probably even more than us

stop being silly. Camilla was known as Duchess of Cornwall not Lancaster, and she is now the queen@@eddihaskell
