Does not Firs

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?

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.

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?

Nice to see you back on a ā€˜royal’ thread, Annie

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.

Lovely to see you Annie

Anniebach Mon 28-Nov-22 19:30:49

There will not be another Duke of Edinburgh

Quite. eazybee.

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

Anniebach Mon 28-Nov-22 19:21:07

Agree eazybee.

eazybee Mon 28-Nov-22 19:15:55

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.

GrannyGravy13 Mon 28-Nov-22 19:08:18

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

Blossoming Mon 28-Nov-22 19:06:31

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

FannyCornforth Mon 28-Nov-22 19:03:43

Hurray for Charlotte!
