Here is such a man. It is my son. He was born here in Wales a week ago, he does not know a word of English, he does (но возможно и did, и will do) nobody harm. He will be Prince of Wales. Everybody kept silent. The chiefs were disappointed though each of them was happy that at least his rival had not been chosen. Ever since that time the elder son of the English King is Prince of Wales.
