Looks like Prince Joachim’s opinion in this matter was not considered.


Where does it say that? The only one I hear complaining is his ex wife.

Why didn’t the Queen give it away after Prince Philip died?


As the eldest son of Prince Phillip, Charles inherited the Duke of Edinburgh title. Now he’s King, he can give it to Edward.

DP. He could have before too. He doesn’t want to. He doesn’t like either of his brothers.


Guess again. He couldn’t give away the title until it merged with the crown (i.e., he became King). A Duke doesn’t get to unilaterally decide who inherits his title.

?

But it has merged and he still hasn’t given it despite elevating William and Kate to PoW


Earl of Wessex is 13th in line. PoW is 1st. Are you still confused? Where's the fire? It makes no difference if it happens tomorrow or in 2 years.

Makes no difference to Charles. Of course it makes a difference to Edward and Sophie.


Why the obsession about Edward and Sophie? They are irrelevant.


The Overseas relatives have a bone to pick with them


Apparently. I guess if Charles sets the tone that brothers don't need favors bestowed upon them in a slimmed down monarchy, that doesn't bode well for future brothers of kings. But given how angry people are about geriatric cousins of the queen getting special treatment, isn't this what most people want?


As i said, the brother has been promoted, he features prominently on the RF website. The tone will be with titles come great responsibilities and promotions will need to be earned.


The other brother is much closer to the throne. But you just don't want to acknowledge the difference. In a slimmed down monarchy there will be winners and losers.


Being "closer" to the throne is completely meaningless, especially so if your chance of ever becoming a monarch is slim to none. The ONLY thing that matters is being close, loyal and trustworthy to the monarch. Basic rules of power in any organization.


What does that have to do with Edward? He's not going be leapfrogging over anyone by sucking up to his brother. As it is he can't even get a better title.


He cares about getting paid, getting higher profile assignments and strengthening his network. That’s what being closer to the monarch means. Although he will definitely get the Edinburgh title too. It’s everything in it’s time with the British Royals.


Edwards interests don't really advance the monarchy, so what incentive does Charles have?


The field was crowded and now it’s wide open, we’ll find out what patronages he gets. Edward is much younger than Charles and Anne, he will be a good support for William as everyone else ages out.


Edward's people sure are lobbying hard for him.


Haha. Not an Edward person by any means, just stating the obvious.



The obvious is that is makes zero difference to anyone but Edward what honorific title he holds. Nobody cares.

Seriously. I think the next generation may step up (and rightfully get more attention) than Edward.

It's always been better to be the children of the oldest son or daughter. This goes back centuries. I guess the uneducated will think it's simple favoritism. Their grandparents aren't like your grandparents doling out candy and toys.


primogeniture could be argued to be a historical blip. I guess we cant have the kids fighting it out for the crown like in the good old days although for institutions so devoted to tradition a good old Witan to pick the next king would at least be entertaining

It could be worse. The Ottomans used to practice fratricide every time a new monarch ascended the throne. Every potential rival male full brother or half brother would be strangled with silk ropes by the palace eunuchs.

He’s not getting that title. My guess is that Charles will retire the titles he can and only do things heir to heir (so additional titles for Williams kids)

I mean the royals in Denmark also get a lot less taxpayer money so not sure that the BRF wants to really lean into that one.
