Princess of Wales (Welsh: Tywysoges Cymru) is a title used since the 14th century by the wife of the Prince of Wales. The princess is a likely future queen consort, as the prince of Wales is a title reserved for the heir apparent to the British throne (and earlier in history the English throne). When the title was first recorded it was not connected to the English throne, it developed in an independent Wales when it was held by Eleanor de Montfort, the wife of the native prince of Wales, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. The current title-holder is Catherine (née Middleton).

Female heirs to the throne (apparent or presumptive, i.e., a future queen regnant) have not formally held the title.[1] In the 20th century, King George VI, in examining the issue, decided that it is a title only held by a wife of the prince.
