Dr Jones added: “I think Y Bwthyn Bach is a fossil, really. It’s historically interesting, you could argue that it is a part of Welsh history which might be better placed in a museum in Wales, like so many other relics of our past.”<\/p>\n
Royal enthusiast Anne Daley, from Cardiff, hopes the cottage will continue to be used by younger members of the family rather than risk falling into disuse.<\/p>\n
“It’s just another cottage that’s now empty \u2013 how many other are empty on that estate now?” she said.<\/p>\n
“What about the Prince of Wales and Catherine? I wonder if their children would play in it. It’s only going to be forgotten about, dilapidated, unless Prince William lets his kids play there.”<\/p>\n
If that were not the case, she too would like to see it return to Wales.<\/p>\n
“It was a gift so it belongs to them,” she said. “I’m not sure really if you can ask for a gift back.<\/p>\n
“But, historically, I’d love to see it, the public have never seen the inside.<\/p>\n
“I would suggest bring it back to St Fagans museum and we can all have a look at it, even if you need to demolish it brick by brick and put it back together.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dr Jones added: “I think Y Bwthyn Bach is a fossil, really.
