Prince as Orator
GREAT VERSATILITY BOOK OF HIS SPEECHES By Cable. — Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 12.53 p.m. LONDON, Monday. The Prince of Wales was introduced to the literary world to-day, in a volume, “H.R.H.—His Speeches, 192326,” as one of Britain’s most versatile orators. The work reveals him as a master of tactful phraseology. He made his first public speech at the age of 17, when he was invested as Prince of Wales at Carnarvon Castle. It was most brief:—“l shall not forget to-day as long as I live. It is one which brought you a new friend —it is true, a young friend —but I have great examples before me, and hope to do my duty to my King, to Wales, and to all.”
His first great post-war speech was at the Guildhall, when he was given the freedom of the City of London:— “The part I played was, I fear, most insignificant; but from, one viewpoint I do not regret my service overseas. In those four years I mixed with men; in those four years I found my manhood.”—A. and N.Z.
