The feeling is we have a golden opportunity here to be more sensitive, inclusive for the ceremony to feel less like a feudal imposition and more like the confirmation of a true native son of Wales.

But my son isn't Welsh, so gestures are all we have.

Welcome to the Crown, the official podcast.

My name is Edith Bowman and this is the

the official podcast for the third season of the Netflix original series The Crown taking you behind the scenes, speaking with many of the talented people involved

and diving deep into the stories.

Today we're talking about episode six, titled Tuvaisau Comrie.

In 1969, Prince Charles spent a term at Abbertsworth University in preparation for being invested as the Prince of Wales or to

a comedy at the Conervyn Castle. The experience gave Charles a chance to not only connect

with Wales and its language but also his own identity as a member of the

Royal Family.

We'll be talking in depth about the events in the episode so if you haven't got round

to watching it yet, we suggest you do so now or very soon

coming up later we'll meet the actor behind Prince Charles Josh O'Connor

essentially this idea that Prince Charles has to wait for his mother to die for him to be truly alive.

I was like, that's it. That is enough for me to like really get my teeth into.

We'll also hear from director Christian Shohoe.

To go to a place and you know everybody hates you here.

How horrible.

And he must have been really lonely.
