A Buckingham Palace source had reportedly revealed that Prince Edward is unlikely to be named Duke of Edinburgh
due to King Charles’ plan to slim down the monarchy.
As reported by the Mirror, this is despite the late Queen and Prince Philip having said Edward would inherit the title "in due course" when, in 1999, he married Sophie Rhys-Jones. But Charles is widely believed to favour slimming down the monarchy - and it's now claimed that he is not keen on the idea.
"The King wants to slim down the monarchy, as is well known. That means it wouldn't make sense to make the Earl the Duke of Edinburgh. It's a hereditary title which would then be passed on to the Earl and Countess of Wessex's son, James, Viscount Severn," said the source.
