Maybe we should have a referendum in this new state to establish it's name. Obviously highly likely it would end up being called England because there's loads of English people... but hey, that's democracy!
The Prince of Wales is just a title like the Duke of York, I don't believe it entails any rulership of Wales. That lapsed after the real ones were bumped off by Edward I.
