  1. Excuse me,I have to have a leek.


  2. It's a leek - a symbol of Wales.  March 1st was St David's Day, St David being the patron saint of Wales and Prince Charles is the Prince of Wales not Prince of England!!

  3. It wasn't an onion, it was leek because it was St David's Day - the Patron Saint of Wales. Prince Charles title is "Prince of Wales"

  4. Saint David's Day is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, and falls on 1 March each year. The Royal Welsh Regiment and the Welsh Guards traditionally celebrate St David's Day with the presentation of leeks to soldiers, often by a member of the Royal Family, and a parade.

    Many Welsh people wear one or both of the national emblems of Wales on their lapel to celebrate St. David: the daffodil (a generic Welsh symbol which is in season during March) or the leek (Saint David's personal symbol) on this day. The association between leeks and daffodils is strengthened by the fact that they have similar names in Welsh, Cenhinen (leek) and Cenhinen Bedr (daffodil).

    The date of March 1st was chosen in remembrance of the death of Saint David on that day in 589, and has been celebrated by followers since then. The date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century.

  5. There is no "prince of england".
