| The last Royal Harpist was appointed by Queen Victoria in 1871. The post was recreated by The Prince of Wales, who issued the following statement: | |||||||||||||||
| "I hope that by re-establishing this position I can not only give support and recognition to a young harpist of ability like Catrin, but that I can help to encourage appreciation of the harp and its importance to Welsh culture and tradition. | |||||||||||||||

| Catrin Finch als Hofharfenistin von Prinz Charles | |||||||||||||||
| Prinz Charles (51), britischer Thronfolger, hat nicht nur Butler, Chauffeure, Sekretäre, Pressesprecher, Köche, Leibwächter, Pferdepfleger und zahllose Hausangestellte – seit kurzem hat er auch eine persönliche Harfenistin. | |||||||||||||||
| Damit habe er eine 500-jährige Hoftradition wieder aufleben lassen, die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts in Vergessenheit geraten sei. Berichtete die Times. Die Ehre der ersten Berufung nach so langer Zeit wurde Catrin Finch (20) zuteil. Sie bekommt ein Jahreshonorar von etwas 4000 £ plus Unkostenerstattung. (dpa) | |||||||||||||||
