The Duchess of Edinburgh! 😍

It is for Louise, it seems.

Most laws are not retrospective.

It was promised to Edward by the Queen and Prince Philip. Charles is an ars*** if he doesn’t honour their wishes. Charlotte can have the Princess Royal title after Princess Anne which I think is more appropriate. You would think Charles would like to stop family problems but if he does this he’s opening up a new row.

As has been stated before, the Princess Royal title is for the eldest daughter of the monarch, grand daughters don’t come into it.

Charles had no daughters, so the PR title should be in abeyance after Anne until William becomes King, when Charlotte could be given that title.

I suspect if George V1 had not died so young, his elder daughter Elizabeth would have been made PR, but as she ascended the throne earlier than was ever anticipated, it was not to be.

So...an unnamed source in the palace told the Daily Mail. I will wait for the official announcement. If true (doubtful) Charlotte would get the title as an adult I think. I would like the title to go to Edward. The Queen was close to him and Sophie. There was an uncalled for comment on here about Edward leaving the marines. I think he was very brave saying it was not for him. I admired him for doing this. Can't have been easy.

Has there been an announcement, then? If so, I seem to have missed it. You’d think the beeb would at least have given it a one liner in the news. Beneath the latest shootings in the US of course…..

Oops, crossed posts.

Sexism is still alive and well at the Palace. Poor Louise.

I doubt that she's bothered.

Charles genuinely can’t win. If Edward has the title he will be accused of not slimming down the royal family titles to the direct heir and family. If he doesn’t give it to Edward he will be dishonouring his parents’ wishes. What’s a King to do? If I were him I’d keep quiet and let the speculation (with no evidence) continue.

Scrap all the ridiculous titles and the ‘royal’ family - problem solved

Quite!

It is not up to common Commoners to discuss it. End of subject.

Are you being serious? Please tell me you're not.

I'm common.

I'll 🤐

Glad to see you know your place Callistemon

I should join you.

She’s a little girl. She’s already a princess. Think that’s fine for now. So unfair to Edward who is the only child of the Queen who has never really had any issues and married to the late Queens favourite. What a shame. So ridiculous.

I'm learning, volver

Although I did have a great-aunt who was descended from Edward IV.

Another here who thinks that if the late queen and the Dof E wanted the title to go to Edward then that's where it should go. Their wishes should be honoured.

Charles is petty, in my opinion. I think he's mad because he won't have very long to be king, and he's trying to throw his weight around.

He's trying to slim down the monarchy but I think this decision was a mistake.

How about uncommon Commoners?

Oh dear, I forgot for a moment that I'm common!

🤐

I was drifting along happy in my commonness and now it seems there are actually different grades of Commoner. I’m not sure anymore, but I expect someone will be along to tell me soon,
