Does it meet the guidelines for Peer Review?

it has a lot of information but can be rather tedious to read through...

Fair enough. I notice that a Wikipedia article has much of the same information. I'll remove it from review.

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!
Okay I haven't read this yet okay, but what Dr Anthea is saying is that it's got a lot of facts in it...not that it's not allowed in Peer Review. Hang about and I'll read it, don't remove it just yet.

Okay, yes this is allowed in PR, HOWEVER I feel that before you try out in there, you need to bulk out your writing more. Currently it reads much like a list. Perhaps you may want to write a bit more about each of the princes, or perhaps about the ones who did something interesting, had sordid affairs, were allergic to bananas. Okay maybe not that but you get the idea. I don't think that something that is a pure list of dates and names is quite right. You ought to perhaps make it more personal to you.

When I read the title, I thought this was going to be an entry on Charles, William & Harry!
I agree with the above post, it reads like a list.
Are you sure you didn't just copy the info straight from a book or the 'net?
Also (and I might be wrong) but I distinctly recall watching the investiture of the current Prince of Wales on tv. It can't have been "Charles (1948- ), son of Elizabeth II, created Prince of Wales 1958", because I was only 3 then.
I reckon it was about 1968. I remember the investiture was at Caenarvon castle. I still have the stamps in my stamp album
n.b. I met Prince Charles this year, and he shook my hand!

My original title was something like "the misfortunes of the English princes of Wales". The point of it was the long list of mostly doomed royalty. Charles was created Prince of Wales in 1958; the formal investiture was in 1968. I collated most of the information from the separate entries in the Concise DNB. But it's academic, as I accept that it's not a proper entry for any review section.
