Britain's Prince Charles has reportedly requested the title of a book about his Welsh holiday home be changed.
Clarence House submitted a request to PhD student Mark Baker asking him to amend title of 'A Royal Residence in Wales - Llwynywermod' because it was considered too formal as the house near Mydd-far is not an official royal residence.
It has now been renamed 'A Royal Home in Wales - Llwynywermod'.
Karen Smart, administrator with publishers Accent Press, is quoted on the WalesOnline website as saying: "The prince felt that the house is not a formal residence but an informal one.
The prince felt that the house is not a formal residence but an informal one.
"He wanted the title of the book changed because it sounds more informal."
The author - who is a student at Wales' Cardiff University - was commissioned by the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust to pen the book, which reveals the estate's original owner, Vicar Daniel Williams was a descendant of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII and that the main mansion house was virtually bulldozed down in the 1960s.
Mark, 23, said the property is a typical Welsh medieval home, noting: "It evolved over the centuries and each generation added a new wing or section but in a way that added to it rather than detracted from it.
