  Prince of Wales College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince of Wales College (PWC) is a former university college, which was located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
PWC was a non-denominational or inter-denominational college which served to provide an education comparable to the present-day CEGEP colleges in Quebec, namely senior matriculation and one or several years of university.
The PWC campus on Grafton Street was taken over by the provincial government and formed the basis for the new provincial community college, Holland College.

The Prince of Wales's current official London residence is Clarence House, former London residence of the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (the eighteenth century building has undergone major restoration and renovation to equip it for use by him, his partner and their extensive personal and office staffs).

One is not surprised if the sheer environment of the college made former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, who was present on the centenary celebrations, nostalgically recall his youthful years with penchant for cinema and touching human bonds.
Indeed, it was the success of the college ceremony that it brought Dr Abdullah, the Mufti and Hurriyat leader Abdul Ghani Bhat on the same platform despite their divergent political views and sharply different personal temperaments.
Indeed, their presence in the College premises during this period would have invested the hundredth anniversary show with the cosmopolitan image it always possessed but which has unfortunately gone virtually unnoticed this time.
