In total there have been twenty-one princes holding the title including Prince Charles the current holder. Edward I started the tradition in 1301 when he gave the title to Edward his son who was born at Caernarfon in North Wales. Usually the eldest son of the ruling monarch is given the title Prince of Wales. If the prince then becomes King he automatically gives up the title.
