Talk:Tomb of Edward, the Black Prince

The Feathers on the tomb have nothing to do with his being Prince of Wales
As of the time I'm typing this, this article contains "and six contain the three ostrich plumes representing his role as the Prince of Wales,". No. Wikipedia's own pages are now pointing out that the ostrich-feathers have nothing to do with his being Prince Of Wales. The ostrich-feathers are a badge of the Heir Apparent to the Throne of England. Since the Kingdom Of Great Britain was, and the United Kingdom is, a successor to or container of the Kingdom Of England, the ostrich-feathers were and are a badge of the Heir Apparent to the Thrones of Great Britain and the U.K. too. When Queen Elizabeth II died, Prince William INSTANTLY became Duke Of Cornwall and he INSTANTLY inherited the use of the ostrich-feathers as a badge. But he was NOT Prince Of Wales, not until many hours later. If Wales becomes an independent country, the U.K. will abandon its custom of creating a male Heir Apparent as Prince Of Wales, and such male Heir Apparent will not bear the Welsh shield on his own coat-of-arms. BUT, because these Feathers have nothing to do with Wales, but only England, he will still use the Feathers as a badge. Also, it's not clear in THIS case that the Feathers are already a badge of the Heir Apparent. They were a symbol of Luxembourg, to which The Black Prince had a connection through his mother.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 15:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
