Actor Michael Sheen has today said that he finds it 'very hard to accept' when Welsh characters are not played by Welsh actors, while also taking aim at the Prince of Wales title.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Sheen blasted the 'ridiculous' title of the Prince of Wales.

'It's just silly. I see no reason why the title should continue. Certainly not with someone who's not Welsh.'

I guess it's time to cancel Roddy McDawell, whose childhood debut in How Green Was My Valley, which treated coming of age in a Welsh mining town, featured Welsh choral singers, and Welsh dialect minus the curse words, was nothing but cultural appropriation. Yup. Cancel Roddy. He did the same thing in Planet of the Apes, playing a chimpanzee instead of letting an actual chimp play that role;-)

Prince of Wales may be the title for the crown prince of the UK, but national unity smash-in-all unity. End the occupation of Wales!

“and reiterates his call for Prince of Wales title to be abolished”

Perhaps they instead rename it: “Prince of Diversity”, since that better reflects Western Europe now.

But self-genocide.... aka ‘diversity’ is our greatest strength said the drunken murderer who passed the 1965 genocide act.

Diversity can not be questioned....ok?

[Eleutheria5]

How about Prince Not Harry or Andrew?

“Diversity can not be questioned....ok?”

Whoops, sorry. But it is incredible to think that the country could be PERMANENTLY undermined so easily because of the sympathy vote after his brother assumed room temperature.

“How about Prince Not Harry or Andrew?”

I’m with you there.

[babble-on]

They call it “acting”

[BradyLS]

Prince of Whales.

Problem solved.

[Twotone]

I think this guy misses the whole point of “acting.”

If you can only play a part that reflects who you actually are, you’d better start writing your own material.

No one cares what Michael Sheen thinks.................

As an aside, Wales has a great flag.

[Bratch]

Hey, Mike. (Can I call you Mike?)

The English and Welsh negotiated (fought) over this a while back.

Your guys lost.

STHU.

Where’s the blow hole? Where’s the rear fin? He can’t even hold his breath for very long!

Worse than that, he was never able to find the gorilla his dreams there.

[Eleutheria5]

He and Zirra broke up? She dug Taylor?

[C19fan]

Will Mr. Sheen stop playing Non-Welsh roles??? I think not.

[chajin]

He and Zirra broke up?

She was just a chimp off the old block.

[TomGuy]

I see no reason why the title should continue.

When the Queen died, that didn't make you king.

The royal pageantry brings a lot of tourist money to Britain.

‘Prince of Silly Titles’ works for me..................

[PghBaldy]

It probably also did not help that blacks had been horribly mistreated for more than one hundred years. Sympathy for that too as well as the slain brother.
