Edward has been expected to inherit the prestigious former title of his father, Prince Philip, for over 23 years.
It has long been expected that Prince Edward—the fourth and youngest of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s children—would one day inherit his father’s Duke of Edinburgh title when Philip ultimately passed away. Philip died in April 2021, and the title reverted back to the Crown, with the expectation still that Edward would one day inherit it.
Edward is styled as the Earl of Wessex, the only of the Queen’s sons to not be a duke. When Edward married Sophie Rhys-Jones—now Sophie, Countess of Wessex—in 1999, the Queen and Philip said that Edward would inherit the Duke of Edinburgh title “in due course,” but it seems Charles might not follow through with that plan after all. The Mirror
. “That means it wouldn’t make sense to make the Earl the Duke of Edinburgh. It’s a hereditary title which would then be passed on to the Earl and Countess of Wessex’s son, James, Viscount Severn. Essentially, this was accepted by the Earl when he agreed that his children would not be a prince or princess.”
“It was fine in theory, ages ago when it was sort of a pipe dream of my father’s,” Edward previously told the BBC. “Of course, it will depend on whether or not the Prince of Wales, when he becomes king, whether he’ll do that, so we’ll wait and see. So yes, it will be quite a challenge taking that on.”reports that Charles intends to keep the Duke of Edinburgh title to himself—now the Crown—but will not use it.
And, while this could be perceived as a snub to his youngest brother, Charles isn’t edging Edward out entirely. He is currently seeking to add both Edward and his sister Princess Anne to his roster of Counsellors of State, which allows them to stand in for the king when he is either overseas or unwell.Rachel Burchfield is a writer whose primary interests are fashion and beauty, society and culture, and, most especially, the British Royal Family.
