Official Harpist to the Prince of Wales
[dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_ZIkz”]
Prince Charles has his very own Official Harpist, which was done away with in the 1800s when Queen Victoria was in power. Apparently, the Prince of Wales knew how important the harp is to Welsh tradition and wanted to see a comeback. A new harpist was introduced in 2015 after the previous one caused a scandal with a much older opera singer.

This position stood on its own from its creation in 1699 until it was decided that it would be combined with the Regius (Royal) Keeper of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1956. His/her majesty’s botanist would oversee the gardens and would test the medicinal attributes various plants could be utilized for.
