Back in the late sixties Prince Charles was being put on display for the Welsh people in anticipation of his investiture as Prince of Wales. As fate would have it he was attending some official military engagements in the South Wales valleys accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant of Glamorgan. Their journey took them from Bridgend at the bottom of the Ogwr valley through Nantymoel and over the Bwlch mountain road into Treorchy where they could make their way directly to Pontypridd and Cardiff.On reaching Treorchy the Lord Lieutenant realised they were running ahead of time and he asked Charles if it would be allright to stop in the village for a while as the landlord of the Red Cow Hotel was an old friend of his as they had served in the RAF together during the Second World War. Charles agreed and accompanied the Lord Lieutenant to the pub. They were both wearing full dress ceremonial uniform.When they went inside there was no one there except Mrs Matty Evans and Mrs Dilys Lloyd who were employed as cleaners. The Lord Lieutenant enquired after the landlord who went by the name of Terry Vaughan. He was told by Mrs Evans that Mr Vaughan was upstairs but she could get him if they liked. And so she did. To save herself a climb up the stairs she stood at the base of the stairway and screeched TERRYYYYYYYYYYYYY. She did this a few times until there was a reply. What do you want Matty. Im busy doing the books. Matty indignantly replied Will you come down here please. A couple of your friends from the Cory Band are here and they want to see you.
