The Duchess of Edinburgh! 😍

I don’t think it’s official yet, though there’s certainly been a lot of internet gossip recently.

Wonderful, I thinks he will be a credit to her great grandfather.

I think that is rather silly. She has a title as Princess, and the title was, I believe, intended for Edward, who has worked hard as a royal and yet for some reason, is only an Earl. If a title is deemed a reward then he has earned one.

Agree eazybee.

I agree the title should have gone to Edward & Sophie as the Queen & Prince Philip wanted.

Quite. eazybee.

There will not be another Duke of Edinburgh

Lovely to see you Annie

👋 Hello, Anniebach!

I hope you are feeling a wee bit better today. 💕🙏💐

I agree, the title should of gone to the Edward and Sophie. They’ve quietly gone about business in an understated consciousness way. Princess Charlotte has a title, another is overload for a child of this age. Charles can hardly afford to alienate another family member…not that I’m suggesting this has happened between him and the Wessex’s but they could be forgiven for feeling this is a slight.

I too think it should go to Edward. Why can’t Charlotte become Princess Royal after Anne? Charles didn’t have a daughter but Charlotte is his elder granddaughter.

Nice to see you back on a ‘royal’ thread, Annie

Agreed. It's rather ridiculous.
Presumably it will go to her when she comes of age.

Did Prince Philip want this title to go to his youngest son?

If the Queen wanted Edward to be DofE then he should be. Firs he not already run the DofE awards scheme these days.
If Charlotte was made Duchess of Edinburgh would whoever she married become Duke?

Does not Firs

Who hoo anniebach lovely to see you outing

It’s ridiculous that’s all I ve got to say

Posting not outing Oh buxxer

Stupid idea. Does he want to cause more trouble in his family?

Just call her the Queen of Sheba and be done with it. What a load of cobblers.

Why does a 7 yr old need a duchy? Since Edwardian times, usually children of the monarch or the first in line are given such titles on marriage. I think Victoria gave children titles though.

Agree Nanna. Although I'm glad Andrew didn't get it.

Priceless nanna8, best comment so far!

Ive always wondered why Edward was only an Earl. For sure he made a bit of a tosser of himself with "Its a Royal Knockout". and ducking out of the marines. However that was a long time ago and in the meantime he and Sophie have lived a blameless life (in comparison with some other royals that we wont mention) and just got on with it.
