Princess Charlotte Is in Line to Get the 'Duchess of Edinburgh' Title, a Huge Snub to Prince Edward
is about to get a very fancy title upgrade: Duchess of Edinburgh. And while the new title is a sweet tribute to the Queen , it's also a pretty major snub to King Charles' brother Prince Edward—who was expected to inherit the Duke of Edinburgh title after his father Prince Philip's death.reports that King Charles is preparing to give it to his granddaughter.
Another insider explained that "Charlotte’s position is historically significant because she is the first female member of the Royal Family whose place in the line of succession will not be surpassed by her younger brother. So it is constitutionally significant that Charlotte should be given such a corresponding title, because it is not beyond the realms of possibility that she will accede the throne if, for example, Prince George does not have children.
The decision comes after months of speculation about why Prince Edward hasn't been granted the title, and apparently he's less than thrilled. By which I mean a source close to the royal family "icily" said the lack of title "hasn’t gone unnoticed."Meanwhile, discussions are happening over at ye olde palace about what title Prince Edward will get instead.
