King Charles has decided not to bestow the title of Duke of Edinburgh upon Prince Edward, reserving it instead for Princess Charlotte, according to recent findings by the male on Sunday.
This revelation comes after months of speculation surrounding the King’s decision to withhold the title from his younger brother, who was expected to inherit it following their father’s passing last year.
Sources close to the matter have disclosed that discussions are currently taking place, with the King leaning towards granting the title to Princess Charlotte.
This choice would serve as a fitting tribute to the late Queen, who held the title of Duchess of Edinburgh.
Additionally, it would allow His Majesty to honor the line of succession.
As the second child of Prince William, Princess Charlotte currently holds the third position in line to the throne, following her father and older brother, Prince George.
The change in royal primogeniture rules occurred when the Princess of Wales was expecting her first child, ensuring that a girl born to the couple would have the same rights as a boy.
The source further explained that granting Princess Charlotte the title of Duchess of Edinburgh is historically significant, as she will be the first female member of the royal family whose place in the line of succession cannot be surpassed by a younger brother.
This constitutional significance is due to the possibility that she may ascend the throne if, for instance, Prince George does not have any children.
Initially, it was believed that the Countess of Wessex would receive the title of Duchess of Edinburgh if Prince Edward became the Duke of Edinburgh, inheriting it from his late father.
However, previous reports indicated Prince Philip’s wish for his youngest son to inherit the title, and Charles reportedly agreed to honor this request.
