Queen wants Charles to respect Prince Philip's will regarding Edinburgh title
Mon, Jul 19, 2021
The Queen and Prince Philip wanted their youngest son Prince Edward to be bestowed the title of Duke of Edinburgh once Prince Charles becomes king. They reportedly assured him ahead of his marriage to Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1999.
Prince Charles inherited the title in April after his father's death, and once he succeeds Her Majesty the title will automatically revert back to the crown.
Doubts have emerged in recent days about the Earl of Wessex being granted the title once Charles becomes king, with one expert suggesting the Queen may need to "have a word" with her eldest to ensure her and Philip's will is respected.
