Edward Glynne Millward is a former Welsh nationalist politician. Millward studied at Cathays High School in Cardiff and then the University College of South Wales, before becoming a lecturer. He became active in Plaid Cymru, Millward stood for the party twice in Cardiganshire at the 1966 UK general election and Montgomeryshire in 1970, but was not elected. In 1966, he was elected as Vice-President of Plaid, but he surprised many when he stood down in 1968, in order to tutor Prince Charles in the Welsh language ahead of his investiture as Prince of Wales. This took place over nine weeks at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. Millward subsequently served as Plaid's spokesperson on water policy, in which role he advocated non-violent direct action against the construction of new reservoirs. In 1976, he was libelled by Willie Hamilton, who claimed that he had been involved in terrorist activities while tutoring Charles; he received �1000 in a settlement. Millward subsequently focused on his career as an academic, lecturing in Welsh at Aberystwyth. In the early 1980s, he supported Gwynfor Evans' successful campaign for a Welsh language television station.
