  Frederick, Prince of Wales
Frederick Lewis, Prince of Wales (February 1, 1707 - March 31, 1751) was the only man of that name ever to hold the title Prince of Wales, and is best remembered as the father of King George III of the United Kingdom and as the subject of the epigram which begins:
Prince Frederick Lewis, the grandson of the then Elector of Hanover (later King George I of Great Britain) was born in Hanover, Germany as Duke Friedrich Ludwig of Brunswick-Lüneburg.
The motives for the ill-feeling between Frederick and his parents may include the fact that he had been set up by his grandfather, even as a small child, as the representative of the house of Hanover, and was used to presiding over official occasions in the absence of his parents.

The apocryphal story that the king promised the rebellious Welsh natives "a prince born in Wales, who did not speak a word of English" and then produced his infant son was not written down until the 16th century.
Most investitures for Princes of Wales were held in front of Parliament, but in 1911, the future Edward VIII was invested in Caernarvon Castle in Wales.
However, as was shown in the case of Diana, Princess of Wales, the style lapses if a Prince and Princess divorce, as it is only hers by virtue of marriage to the Prince of Wales, not in her own right.

The German motto means "I serve."]] The eldest son of the reigning monarch of England/Great Britain is traditionally invested with the title of Prince of Wales.
The famous story that the king promised the rebellious Welsh natives "a prince born in Wales, who did not speak a word of English" and then produced his infant son may well be apocryphal, as it can only be traced to the 16th century.
The Principality of Wales and Earldom of Chester must be created, and are not automatically acquired like the Dukedoms of Cornwall and Rothesay, which are the Heir Apparent's titles in England and Scotland, respectively (note: the heir apparent is not necessarily Duke of Cornwall, see Duke of Cornwall for more details).

Frederick believed that the Habsburgs would never negotiate away their gains, so that the only hope lay in inciting a larger war.
He presents Frederick as a figure primarily motivated by constitutional rather than religious concerns, who was perfectly happy to tolerate Lutherans and Catholics, and even to ally with Catholic states, to defeat what he perceived as Habsburg tyranny.
Frederick's disastrous decision to accept the crown therefore stemmed not just from his own rashness but from the confusing signals he received from an internally divided English regime.
