A nationalist North Wales council is refusing to accept William as the 'archaic, oppressive' Prince of Wales.
The Plaid Cymru-led Gwynedd Council in Wales also voted that any investiture of William should be kept 'off Welsh soil'.
The passionate meeting took place at the council chamber in Caernarfon - the town where Charles celebrated his much-feted investiture at the historic castle.

The meeting called for a referendum on whether the status of 'Prince of Wales' should be abolished - with only Welsh people eligible to vote. The motion passed on 46 votes to four.

'Members also voted in favour of the proposal that the Council opposes any investiture being held in Gwynedd, or anywhere on Welsh soil.
'No discussion was had regarding any specific location within the county.'

While shaking hands with the princess, the woman said: 'Nice to meet you but it would be better if it was when you were in your own country.'
Councillor Elfed Wyn ab Elwyn made the anti-monarchy proposal, saying: 'The days of Wales titled as 'a little principality' was abolished in the sixteenth century's Laws in Wales Act.
