Show detail Hide detail

The first live television colour broadcast (by satellite) to North America documents the July 1, 1969 investiture of the 21st Prince of Wales, His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor, at an official ceremony at Caernarvon Castle in Wales. Footage of the royal procession through Wales alternating with footage of events prior to and during the ceremony at Caernarvon Castle are accompanied by Lloyd Robertson's commentary. Events prior to the ceremony are highlighted in shots of: the arrival in Wales of members of the royal family, including Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother, Princess Anne, Prince Philip (Duke of Edinburgh), and Queen Elizabeth II; the inspection of the Guard of Honour (from the Royal Welsh Fusiliers) at the train station by Queen Elizabeth; and Prince Charles in a carriage being escorted to Caernarvon. Preparations at the castle include: guests arriving, including dignitaries such as Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Mrs. Wilson and Welsh members of Parliament; aerial views of the 4,000 guests in the investiture area; and various views of the castle. The investiture ceremony is shown through footage of: church, government and military processions; processions of the Prince, the Queen Mother and the Queen; the Queen bestowing the symbols of office (crown, gold ring, rod and mantle) upon her son; Prince Charles making a pledge to fulfill his duties; and Queen Elizabeth giving a "kiss of fielty" to the new Prince of Wales. Additional noteworthy footage of unsuccessful attempts by Welsh separatists to disrupt the ceremony.
