"Exactly," said Harry. "While we've been off fighting Riddle, the old Welsh kingdoms have declared their magical independence from the English crown, and demonstrated their fealty to me when we put on that display at Hengest. But there hasn't been a sitting Monarch to ratify the decision ... which is part of the reason that Riddle targeted Elizabeth. The Scots and Irish already have magical independence ... it is simply wrong that the Welsh continue to be denied this freedom."
