Well, I'm sure that those of us who support the monarchy would be delighted to have Plaid Cymru supporting something that the people of Wales don't support. So bring it on, I say.

Of course people visit Legoland at Windsor. Maybe they're just the ones who can't get into Windsor castle on that day. Who knows? There is no doubt that there is massive popular support for the institution of monarchy in this country, and it seems to be entirely proper to name the second Severn bridge after the Prince of Wales. I would like to propose, as I did the other day, that the other Severn bridge should be named after Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf, to represent both traditions of this house, and that would be a unifying factor, perhaps.
