they miss wales off every time - no daffodil or leek

Is there not prince of Wales feathers ?

We’ll have a good look when she tries it on 

yes - they are not represented on Armistice day for laying of a wreath - I think Scotland represented Wales last year

Wonder why that is? 

Maybe because the Tudors were Welsh....so the Crown represented Wales back then ......or maybe not😀
