THE PRINCE OF WALES

MORE ACTIVE SHARE IN STATE AFFAIRS

TO PARTICIPATE IN WORK OF THE KING RELIEVING HIS MAJESTY DURING HOLIDAYS It is stated that the Prince of Wales will shortly come into closer touch with the machinery of Government, arrangements having been made whereby he will participate in the King’s work, and enable His Majesty to enjoy more holidays. Br TBt.EGRApn. —Press Association Copyright. London, February 3. The “Daily News” states that the Prince of Wales will shortly come into closer touch with the machinery of Government. It is the King’s wish that the Prince, having completely toured the Empire, should be initiated into the heavy routine work which will eventually fall to his lot. Arrangements have been made whereby, he will visit the King dailv and participate in His Majesty’s work and be. brought into more intimate touch with Ministers and officers of State. The King, like King Edward and Queen Victoria, is fully acquainted with the smallest details of documents to which he. affixes his signature, many of the highest importance, sometimes numbering hundreds a day. When the Prince is taking a more active share in State affairs the King will be enabled to enjov more holidays. His visit to South Europe in 1925 was so beneficial that the doctors are urging a repetition. When the King takes a holiday again the Prince of Wales will be either head of a Special Commission representing the King or vested with the Commission’s whole powers.—Sydney “Sun” Cable.
