The spokesman, however, knew nothing of any official plans for an announcement of the date of Prince Charles' in- vestiture as Pilace of Wales.
The Empire News said today it was expected the Queen would take the Prince to the Royal National Eisteddfod at Sophia Gardens.
The "handful of people" who the visit had been told about were wondering if the Queen would announce the date of the investiture there,
"It would be similar to the surprise the Queen sprang on July 26, 1958 when at the close of the Empire Games in Cardif she armottaced that Prince Charles would be Prince of Wales," the newspaper added. -Reuter,
