Cocktail Colin says:
The Prince of Wales cocktail is a regal concoction that skillfully combines sweet and citrus components with a bubbly splash of champagne. The inclusion of maraschino cherry liqueur adds a subtle depth, while the angostura bitters provide a pleasing complexity to the rye whiskey base.

Just tried it. Loved the mix of whiskey and champagne. It's strong but goes down smooth. Pineapple and cherry is a nice touch. A great twist on usual cocktails.
