Dispute over the Duke title?
Charles does not want to give Edward the intended title - and so denies his dead father his last wish.
London - It is well known that Prince William and Prince Harry are at odds.
Now an additional dispute between brothers seems to be on the horizon.
Since his wedding in 1999, Prince Edward has hoped to be able to bear the title of his father, Prince Philip, one day.
That is "Duke of Edinburgh".
With the receipt of the crown, Prince Charles can decide who the title goes to
When Prince Philip's father died in April, Prince Charles inherited the title of Duke of Edinburgh.
If Charles becomes king, the title will also merge with the crown.
The new monarch can then decide whether to pass him on to his brother or another member of the family - or to keep him in suspense for a time in the future.
Royals: Isn't Charles going to hand over the Duke title to Edward?
It was actually assumed that Prince Edward would get the title automatically, so to speak. The palace once said in a statement that the younger brother of heir to the throne Prince Charles will receive the title if he falls back to the crown. The statement said: “The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales have also agreed that Prince Edward should be given the title of Duke of Edinburgh in due course when the current title held by Prince Philip finally ends the crown falls back. "
But now there could be a change of plan, as the British
Sunday Times first
reported.
A friend of Charles is said to have said: “It's up to him what happens to the title.
It won't go to Edward. "And another insider added," Edinburgh is not going to [the Wessexes] as far as the Prince is concerned. "
"No final decision made" - Charles spokesman comments
Speaking to
People
magazine
, a spokesman for Charles commented on the rumors: “All of these stories are speculation and no final decisions have been made. It would be inappropriate and disrespectful to the Queen to speak up on questions of accession and we will maintain our longstanding policy not to do so. ”Buckingham Palace itself refused to comment.
In an interview with the
Daily Telegraph
after Prince Philip's death, Prince Edward said: "It's a very bittersweet role that I have to take on because the title can only go to me after both of my parents actually passed away." He has to go back to the crown first.
My father was keen to see the title carry on, but he wasn't quick enough with Andrew, so it was we who he ended up interviewing.
It was a nice idea;
a nice thought."
There is also a constant quarrel between the Prince-Brothers William and Harry.
A nobility expert recently gave reasons for the Zoff and surprised with a statement.
