Speculation has been swirling around the possibility of Prince Edward taking on the prestigious title of Duke of Edinburgh, a title that was originally bestowed upon Prince Philip when he married Princess Elizabeth back in 1947.
The Earl of Wessex’s recent visit to Newcastle to express gratitude to those who participated in the Queen’s funeral last month has sparked enthusiasm among royal enthusiasts for him to inherit the title.
During his visit to the city center, Prince Edward met with individuals who played a role in the Queen’s funeral, which took place on September 19 at Westminster Abbey.
Supporters of the Royal family have been vocal about their desire for Prince Edward to be named the next Duke of Edinburgh, highlighting his dedication and hard work in serving the country.
Social media platforms have been abuzz with messages of endorsement for Prince Edward’s potential new title.
Karen Smith, a Twitter user, expressed her hope that the Earl and Countess would be appointed as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, recognizing their significant contributions.
Similarly, Jogab emphasized the appropriateness of passing on the Dukedom of Edinburgh to Prince Edward, echoing sentiments shared by many others.
June, another Twitter user, praised Prince Edward’s strong work ethic, drawing parallels between him and his late father, Prince Philip.
Even on Instagram, users like DazzlingJean have joined in, expressing their hopes that the Wessexes will be granted the titles of Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
While Prince Philip reportedly wished for his youngest son to succeed him as the Duke of Edinburgh, the final decision now rests with King Charles.
Various media outlets have reported on the potential transition of the title to Prince Edward, adding to the anticipation surrounding this royal development.
As discussions continue to unfold within royal circles and among the public, the question of who will assume the esteemed title remains unanswered.
