Principality in the United Kingdom whose capital is Cardiff (5)

I believe the answer is:

wales

(Other definitions for wales that I've seen before include "Part of Great Britain" , "Part of 1" , "Principality, part of the UK" , "Home nation wearing red shirts for rugby" , "Former principality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
