As most Princes of Wales haven't actually had this sort of investiture the answer is no.
Edward VIII was only about 17 when invested and Charles nearly 21.
Previously they didn't have ceremonies like this at all but the holder was presented to the House of Lords when they reached about 21. George V was already a member of that house when he became Duke of Cornwall and later Prince of Wales so no more ceremony attached at all. Edward VII turned 21 the year after his father's death so no ceremony at other than taking his seat in the House of Lords. George IV also had no ceremony other than being presented to the House of Lords as Duke of Cornwall.
It was more a 20th C thing and therefore only two actual investitures. It isn't necessary as the LPs are all that are needed (and Charles' were issued in 1958 - 11 years before his investiture).
