Here’s the facts. I’m Welsh. I’m sorry to see anyone pass away. I have no interest, relations or relevance with the royal family, we didn’t elect them. I wish my grandma had the access others did. They stole the Prince of Wales title from Wales. That’s facts. 🏴

"I’m well aware of Nakajima. He grew up in pro wrestling & kakutogi. The question is does he think he has what it takes to go to this ring? I think he can do it!"
