Prince Edward, the youngest brother of King Charles III, is set to receive the prestigious title of Duke of Edinburgh.

This decision comes after a change of heart from King Charles, who had previously withheld the title from his brother.

The move is seen as an attempt to reconcile with Prince Edward and maintain unity within the royal family.

A recent poll showed that 94% of participants approved of this decision.

The promise of the Duke of Edinburgh title was made to Prince Edward by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip on his wedding day to Sophie Royce-Jones.

However, since Charles ascended to the throne, the Earl and Countess of Wessex have been denied this coveted dukedom.

Buckingham Palace had previously stated that the Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, and Prince of Wales had agreed that Prince Edward would be given the title in due course.

Rumors had circulated that Charles was considering Princess Charlotte, who is only seven years old, as the future Duchess of Edinburgh.

This was perceived as a slight to Edward, who had been a source of support for Charles during the recent scandal involving Prince Andrew.

A source close to Edward expressed their disappointment, stating that it felt like a slap in the face considering Edward’s assistance to Charles during the Andrew Farrago.

The recent poll, which asked whether Prince Edward should be given the Duke of Edinburgh title, received an overwhelming response.

Out of 10,781 participants, 94% answered yes, while 6% responded no.

Readers left numerous comments expressing their support for Edward’s new title, emphasizing that it was time for Charles to honor the wishes of his parents.

Some even argued that the decision should have been made long ago, and failure to do so would diminish Charles’ affection and respect.

Speculation suggests that Charles may announce this decision during his coronation in May.

The Duke of Edinburgh title holds significant historical importance as it symbolizes the union between England and Scotland.

It is worth noting that after Edward’s death, the title may revert to the Crown instead of automatically passing down to his son, Viscount Severn.
